In light of the current global situation, the CIGRE UK&Ireland NGN committees have together to create the online webinar on wind energy.

About the event

In 2019, 60.4 GW of wind energy capacity was installed globally in 2019, a 19 per cent increase from installations in 2018 and the second-best year for wind historically. Total capacity for wind energy globally is now over 651 GW. How can we exploit the full potential of wind energy?
