Automation Era: Digital solutions set to transform the wind sector

April 12, 2022 |

Digitalisation presents several advantages to wind energy systems in terms of improved safety, greater reliability and accuracy in data collection, spee­dy dissemination of data, lower operatio­nal cos­ts and greater flexibility in undertaking ma­in­tenance activities.

Unlocking onshore wind in Poland

Unlocking onshore wind in Poland

March 24, 2022 |

Poland’s restrictive onshore wind law limits the deployment of new wind projects to a value that is not compatible with EU’s climate targets. An update to Poland’s problematic onshore wind law is already on the table, yet the government is delaying the amendment despite huge public support. Being the cheapest energy source, onshore wind could also help lower the extremely high coal-and-gas-driven electricity prices, currently wreaking havoc in the country’s economy.
