Europe’s wind fleet has been a cornerstone of the continent’s clean energy transition, supplying affordable and low-carbon electricity. In key regions like Germany, Great Britain, and Iberia, wind power has emerged as the dominant source of electricity generation in 2024. However, as Europe’s wind fleet ages, the challenge of repowering becomes increasingly urgent.
By 2030, 24 GW of wind capacity in Iberia alone will surpass the 20-year operational mark, necessitating strategic repowering initiatives. But what impact will different repowering scenarios have on power prices, emissions, and curtailment? And how will policy and regulatory frameworks shape the future of wind repowering across Europe?
Aurora Energy Research explored these critical questions in our public webinar, assessing:
- The impact of repowering on Europe’s energy mix – How will different repowering strategies influence power prices, emissions, and grid stability?
- Portugal’s unique case – Unlike Spain, Portugal’s wind repowering potential is shaped by distinct historical buildout waves and more advanced regulatory frameworks.
- The role of buildout waves in wind repowering – How concentrated periods of wind farm development influence retirement timelines and repowering needs.
