German malaise slows wind expansion
Despite progress in several markets, Germany's permitting bottleneck led to fewer onshore wind installations in H1 of this year compared to the same period of 2018. Offshore wind, though, pushed the combined expansion into the opposite direction.
Europe's onshore wind expansion was uncustomarily equally distributed in the first six months of this year. Seven countries – from Greece in the south, Sweden in the north, Ukraine in the east and France in the west – installed more than 200 MW from January to June. Only three countries delivered that level of growth in the same period last year, shows a statement by trade association WindEurope's on its biannual statistics.
