Presentation outline

• About EWEA• Wind Energy growth• Wind Energy in the EU• EU electricity mix• National Renewable Energy Action Plans• Some conclusions Hungary

What is the European Wind Energy Association? EWEA is the voice of the wind industry in Europe 

 Activities include:

• Researching the latest developments in the wind sector

• Coordinating EC-funded projects • Disseminating high quality, up-to-date information • Raising awareness of the benefits of wind power • Organising Europe’s premier wind energy events

More than 600 members from almost 60 countries

• Manufacturers with a leading share of the global wind power market

• Component suppliers• Research institutes• National wind and renewable associations• Developers• Electricity providers• Finance and insurance companies• Consultants• Contractors

This combined strength makes EWEA the world’s

largest and powerful wind energy networkwww.ewea.org/membership

Members include the following leading players:

Some conclusions Hungary

EWEA 2020 target: 900 / 1,200 MWNREAP 2020 target: 750 MW

NREAP 2010 target: 330 MWReal 2010 installations: 295 MWLost investments: €42,000,000 in 2010

Challenges: un-ambitious targets – unclear legislation – tenders for grid

connections – unstable support

mechanism.

Situation: standstill
