Happy New Year, welcome to 2026.
Where is wind energy going to take us this year?
A view to the future of renewable energy and the energy transition?

Even after almost 30 years of operation, these wind turbines are still producing clean electricity in Campania, Italy.
This weekend, I recommend to take a page from wind turbines: stand tall, turn challenges into energy, and keep moving forward.
Today, June 15th, is Global Wind Day.
Global Wind Day is a reminder that wind energy is already delivering clean power, creating jobs and contributing to a more sustainable and secure future.
What books have you been reading lately?
Combining offshore wind power and tourism could help reduce the opposition to renewable energy:

The GWEC 2025 Global Wind Report captures a pivotal moment for the wind energy sector.
With 117 GW installed in 2024, wind power is advancing into new geographies and consolidating its position at the heart of the energy transition.

"No transition without transmission."
To unlock the potential of a truly competitive European electricity market, more cross-border connections are needed across the European Union.
In the news last weekend: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have successfully synchronized their electrical grids with the continental European network.
