WindEurope is a Brussels-based organization promoting wind energy. We believe that Europe must achieve climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, and that wind energy will form the basis of a climate-neutral energy system. Our members are companies and organizations involved in the production or consumption of wind energy in Europe. Follow us on LinkedIn or Instagram if you want to learn more about the development of this technology in Europe.
We support Cycling 4 Climate because it is a unique initiative that supports communication about the dangers of climate change in a simple but incisive way. We like the symbolism of the event, showing that with a joint effort we can do something. The fact that each participant has to count their CO2 emissions and think about and declare what they will do to reduce them shows that each of us can make a difference to live more sustainably.
As partners, WindEurope’s support goes beyond participation — they’re helping to ensure the event is meaningful for both citizens and policymakers raising awarness of solutions for climate change, reinforcing the importance of collective action and our energy choices.
At ENERTRAG, we have been advancing the energy transition for over 25 years. Our more than 1,200 employees design, build and operate integrated power plants. These are based on combinations of wind turbines, solar installations, our own grid infrastructure, batteries and electrolysers. These technologies provide reliable, on-demand electricity, heat and green hydrogen – completely replacing fossil fuel power plants.
With our own plants, we generate around 2,000 gigawatt hours of electricity from the wind and sun every year and have been producing green hydrogen since 2011. Based on this, we are developing energy projects with a capacity of over 30 gigawatts in nine countries on four continents.
ENERTRAG embodies the global energy supply of the future: sustainable, secure and regionally anchored – protecting our planet for current and future generations.
