We are concerned that a crucial part of the Commission’s RES proposal, which enables Member States to limit trade in Guarantees of Origin (GO) by companies, is not legally robust. It must therefore be established beyond doubt that Member States are legally entitled to limit the trade of GO by companies, a crucial factor for maintaining investor confidence and encouraging substantial investments in green electricity.

Christian Kjaer, EWEA Chief Executive.

European Wind Day 2008: “discover unlimited power”

15 June 2008

The second edition of the European Wind Day will take place on 15 June 2008. The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) is organising a pan-European campaign to highlight the benefits of wind energy – an infinite, renewable and indigenous energy source.

These will include wind farm inaugurations and open days, concerts, conferences, information days with schools, debates, races, contests and much more.
