If the European Union wants to remain a key player in wind power production, member states need to follow Germany's example, a major leader in the continent's wind industry said in an exclusive interview with Euronews.
Former Belgian energy minister Tinne Van der Straeten, who was recently appointed CEO of WindEurope, the wind energy industry trade body in the EU, explained to Euronews that the industry is still facing significant challenges expediting permits to unlock wind power projects in some EU countries, a problem that undermines the bloc's overall climate goals.
