Cost Efficiency as Key Driver for Further Development

Wind Industry Profile of

In recent years, increasing pressure to drive down wind turbine manufacturing prices has spurred enormous advances in technology.

For example, turbine and rotor sizes have grown at an impressive speed, and many other innovations have enabled significant improvements in terms of energy output and cost efficiency. The introduction of auction systems for tendering onshore and offshore projects in a growing number of countries around the world has contributed to intensifying international competition, resulting in substantial (project) lifecycle-based price drops and huge value-chain cost reduction pressure. At the Global Wind Summit in Hamburg, the industry will demonstrate and discuss what can be achieved by current and emerging technologies. From 25 to 28 September WindEnergy... ...
