Europe’s Wind Power to Boom in 2024

By Shubhendra Anand , 14 April, 2025

Europe's wind power industry for the year 2024 seems to have antics of growth and probably other challenges while continuing with the shift towards the use of renewable energy. Development and investment activities like the European  Union's initiative Wind Power Package with enhanced policy backing resulted in the addition of around 6.4 GW of new wind power capacity during the year's first half. This package also seeks to expand supply chain capacity and ease administrative bottlenecks. For instance, Europe aspires to reach a target of 9.5 GW offshore turbines and 22.5 GW onshore turbines by 2025.

Nonetheless, the progress has been hampered by structural and economic factors. Increasing production costs, especially in steel and labor, and declining power prices have made new projects riskier. This was the case for the recent wind auctions in Denmark and Sweden. Other factors inhibiting progress include grid constraints, too much supply in specific areas, and slow development of green industry projects​. Prices are rising due to rising labor costs and raw materials such as steel. These increased costs are putting pressure on the profit margins of wind farm developers. In several European markets, the fall in wholesale prices of electricity has affected the financial attractiveness of wind projects, thus complicating their investment return structure. Lack of capacity in some areas of Europe's grid framework negatively impacts the electricity generation that wind farms can feed into the grid. This causes output losses and restricts wind energy's capability to meet the required demand.​

Europe actively engages with the EU Wind Power Package, which focuses on enhancing production capability, simplifying permitting, and assisting supply chains. It is supposed that these policies will reduce fluctuations in the market within several years. In general, while Europe maintains its leading position in the bubble of wind energy, these issues underline the difficulties that exist with the deployment of renewable energy sources in an aggressive and changing market.
