Rewiring Europe - will offshore wind be a "winner"?

Ten European countries in Europe came together in Hamburg earlier this week to sign a commitment to deliver 100GW of offshore wind in the North Sea - a move the German energy minister labelled as "a historic moment for Europe." After a year of failed auctions and cancelled wind projects across some countries in Europe, does this "pact" reveal Europe's commitment to energy independence following President Trump's abuse directed at "loser windmills"? In this episode, Richard speaks to offshore wind developer Orsted and TSO TenneT about some of the grid integration challenges that the sector needs to overcome, and how proposed interconnectors and bidding zones could work in practice. Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel News Guests: Ulrik Stridbæk - Head of Global Regulatory & Public Affairs, Ørsted Joana Stirnberg - Coordinator of EU Affairs, TenneT Hubert Put - Senior Consultant, Montel Contributor: Andreas Lochner - Germany Editor, Montel News Editor: Oscar Birk Producer: Sarah Knowles
