In line with the global push for decarbonization, wind energy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sources of new electricity generation, playing a pivotal role in the journey toward net zero by 2050. While traditional fossil fuels still dominate the global energy mix, the falling costs of onshore and offshore wind technologies are rapidly shifting the balance.
Wind is one of the most promising clean energy sources, capable of replacing fossil energy sources and meeting global electricity demand. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the potential of offshore wind energy alone is 18 times greater than the current electricity demand. By 2050, the sector could supply up to 35% of global energy production (compared to about 8-12% today), while technological advancements are expected to reduce the cost of wind energy by 37-49% due to more efficient turbines and lower capital (CAPEX) and operating (OPEX) expenditures.
In the section “Wind energy” on ONEGEO.COM Global Digital Platform, you can further explore the trends in wind energy development, advanced technologies, sector incentive programs, and factors limiting its growth. Additionally, the section contains information about the leading professional events, global partnerships, cross-sectoral initiatives, and main actors in this field.
Please note that organizers may shift dates of the announced professional events, so we recommend checking the official websites for the latest information.
