Visit us at WindEurope 2026 in Madrid

We’ll be at WindEurope’s annual event, which takes place from 21 to 23 April 2026. If you're visiting the conference, we'd love to see you at our exhibition stand in Hall 9.

With talks and presentations, we’ll be driving conversations on the future of offshore wind, energy security, affordability, innovation, sustainability, and more. Our experts will share insights, challenge industry norms, and explore the solutions needed to accelerate the green transition.

Fact over perception: the real value of offshore wind

Europe needs more homegrown renewable energy if it is to break its dependence on imported fossil fuels. But a significant proportion of Europeans in key offshore wind markets believe their countries are already domestically self-sufficient – a misperception that risks reducing the sense of urgency around the transition to a secure, independent energy system based on domestic renewables like offshore wind.
