Description
Description
|
The EWI is a R&D programme launched by the European wind industry together with the European Commission and Member States.The EWI is a part of the European Commission's Strategic Energy Technology Plan. The EWI is a roadmap to reduce the cost of wind energy, which will pave the way for the large-scale deployment of wind energy worldwide and secure long-term European technological and market leadership. Updated July 2015.

Objectives
|
To improve the competitiveness of wind energy technologies, to enable the exploitation of the offshore resources and deep waters potential, and to facilitate grid integration of wind power. Secure the largest possible market share in and develop the full potential of today's European wind markets by meeting the 2020 targets; Destroy the myth that fossil fuels and nuclear energy are not subsidised. Promote "the polluter pays" principle. Expose the level of hidden subsidy that is provided to the other forms of electrical generation; Promote a long–term stable framework and attract new investment; Promote wind energy research, development and innovation (R, D & I) to maintain European technological leadership, enhance the affordability of wind energy and ensure optimal use of European research funds, supporting European academia, research institutes and industry; Promote grid development, operation and markets to integrate large quantities of wind energy in a cost efficient way; Work to ensure sufficient access to finance is available for the wind industry at a cost reflecting actual rather than perceived risk, while working to ensure that political risk is minimised
