Future of Wind Energy Wind energy will play an important role in the transition to more renewable sources of energy. From a report published by the International Energy Agency, wind will become the largest form of energy generation in Europe by 2030 (IEA,2021). Breakthroughs in the field such as offshore platforms, which allows turbines to be placed in previously inaccessible locations in deep-water (Musial et al., 2022), increased capacity, reduced cost and efficiency will allow wind energy to be even more competitive with fossil fuels. With nations escalate their commitments to cleaner energies under structures like the Paris Agreement, wind energy will become a cornerstone in sustainable energy production, if technical, financial and policy hurdles are addressed correctly with global effort.
