Topping the agenda at the opening day of the European Wind Energy Conference in Warsaw was Europe’s long term energy supply. Wind energy will meet 50% of the EU’s electricity demand by 2050, top wind energy personalities told Europe’s largest wind energy conference and exhibition. “2050 might seem like a long way off, but the decisions we take today will have a big impact on our energy supplies in 40 years’ time,” said Professor Arthouros Zervos, President of the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA). However, we should be talking about a “renewable energy economy” not a low carbon one, Prof. Zervos said. “Renewable energies can provide 100% of Europe’s power supplies by 2050 without any further contribution from any so-called low-carbon technologies”.
