📢🆕 Released today: the WindEurope Annual Statistics report and 5-year outlook for #windenergy in #Europe . Europe built 19 GW of new wind energy in 2022. 16 GW of those were in the EU. That’s 40% up on 2021. But it’s much less than what’s needed for the EU’s 2030 goals. 🧵(1/5)

We have a problem here ❗❗ Europe invested just €17bn in new #wind farms in 2022. 📉 💶 That’s down from €41bn in 2021 and the lowest #investment figure since 2009 – a stark warning to Governments and policymakers.
