⭐️QUOTE OF THE WEEK⭐️ 🇪🇺The EU Clean Industrial Deal aims to boost #electrification and #renewables deployment as a driver for industrial competitiveness. But the new WindEurope and VaasaETT report “Revamping electricity bills for a competitive and secure #Europe” shows that high taxes and levies on #electricity undermine the business case for electrification. They put Europe at a disadvantage compared to the US and China. A cost-neutral shift of electricity taxes and levies would boost competitiveness and energy security. ⚡️ Vasiliki Klonari, WindEurope Director for Energy System Integration, spoke on the matter. ➡️More here: https://lnkd.in/dvTAQbwH

🇵🇱The Baltic Power project – a joint venture between ORLEN S.A. and Northland Power Inc. – has confirmed the first successful installation of five transition elements that will connect the foundations and #offshorewind turbines at the farm. This is the first such installation in Polish Baltic waters. #BalticSea

⚡️In its latest report, Ørsted, in addition to analyzing the industry’s challenges, presents a proposal for an “Offshore Wind Deal” plan. It aims to restore investment momentum in the #offshorewind sector. Agata Staniewska-Bolesta

Pleased to have witnessed the launch of the Baltic Hub Project at WindEurope 2025 — a major step forward for regional energy cooperation and offshore wind integration in the Baltic Sea. It was also a privilege to speak with Latvia’s Minister of Climate and Energy Kaspars Melnis as well as Lithuania’s Minister of Energy Zygimantas Vaiciunas and underline BalticWind.EU’s mission to foster informed, cross-border dialogue on the future of clean energy in our region. The momentum is real — and the Baltic Sea is at the heart of it.
