April 2023The State of the European Wind Energy Supply ChainA «what-would-it-take» analysis of the European supply chain’s ability to support ambitious capacity targets towards 2030A Rystad Energy report in cooperation with WindEuropeApril 20232About this reportRystad Energy – The State of the European Wind Energy Supply Chain – April 2023This report has been produced by Rystad Energy in cooperation with WindEurope. It is focused on Europe’s wind supply chain and its ability to support ambitious capacity targets for 2030. The outset of the report is based on WindEurope’s capacity outlook for wind power in Europe in its “2030 Targets Scenario” presented in the “Wind energy in Europe 2022 –Statistics and the outlook for 2023-2027” report published in February 2023. Using this capacity outlook as an exogenous factor, Rystad Energy has applied its models and industry knowledge to estimate the resulting demand for components, services and materials along the value chain towards 2030. Through extensive research on the current and announced supply capacities, Rystad Energy aims to identify potential supply chain risks and bottlenecks as well as assess the urgency of the necessary expansions. As such, all analysis in this report has been done by Rystad Energy, if not explicitly mentioned otherwise.Rystad Energy has also contributed to the background material in this report, describing the current status of the European wind market and its supply chain, in addition to describing the components and materials that are essential for the wind industry. Based on the findings in this report, WindEurope has provided its policy recommendations. 55ContactsRystad Energy – The State of the European Wind Energy Su...
