The energy transition is imperative. To achieve the EU target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030, at least 420 GW of wind energy must be installed by 2030. By the end of 2023, the count stood at approximately 205 GW. This means that an average of 30-40 GW of wind energy must become operational each year. In 2023, only 17 GW of new wind turbine capacity came into operation across Europe – thus, an acceleration is necessary.

Nevertheless, Europe provides support, such as through the Renewable Energy Directive and the Wind Power Action Plan, which, combined with a determined approach, offers opportunities to realize this potential. "Secure homegrown energy: the EU objectives are clear. It is good news that a Belgian and highly experienced investor is taking up this challenge. With this support, there are certainly still opportunities in the EU that can be converted into operational wind farms," says Ineke Holvoet and Geert Maris, responsible for international expansion within Spark Power.

Currently, Spark Power is building a team of enthusiastic individuals who, driven by a deep conviction for the green energy transition and local energy production, are not shying away from any challenge to help realize this ambition. People make the difference: a fresh and clear perspective on this complex energy trajectory is essential.
