Grid access is new permitting – 500 GW of total wind capacity is halted in ten European states

Currently more than 500 GW of total wind capacity in Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom is waiting for grid connection assessment. WindEurope examined grid access challenges in Europe and proposed actions to release grid capacity for wind farms. Access to the electricity grid is a bottleneck for renewables deployment. Curtailment and inefficient grid permitting procedures limit grid access. Lack of transparency on curtailed renewable energy volumes and congestion costs. CEO Giles Dickson highlighted the need for improved grid connection management. WindEurope targets efficient grid planning, revised legislation implementation, transparent rules for congestion management, fair cost sharing, and enabling grid connection for renewables with storage.
