| New Study Explores Wind Potential for Central and Eastern Europe |
The following study covers the development and dynamics of the wind energy industry in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Political will and administrative procedures are dramatically changing as the need for energy security, and the ambitious European Union renewable energy targets drive the wind energy market in the CEE region. Nevertheless, sluggish policy developments, effects of the global financial crisis, in addition to supply bottlenecks and grid connection problems slow down the momentum, thereby exposing the markets largest shortfalls, and highest potential. Wind energy boasts of increased attention in the region also due to looming power crises forecasted in many largest CEE countries, such as Turkey and Poland.
