‘Developers might consider Chinese OEMs to pressure European turbine firms’

Andrea Scassola, from independent energy research firm Rystad energy, sits down with Windpower Monthly for the final part of a series of interviews recorded at the WindEurope conference in Copenhagen.Scassola, who is vice president of wind research at Rystad, spoke about the implications of non-price criteria for renewable energy auctions under the Net Zero Industry Act, which will become mandatory by the end of this year, the multiple challenges Chinese turbine firms face when trying to enter the European market and how developers may still turn to them in order to pressure European OEMs to give them better contract terms. The conversation also touched on how global trade wars could present both opportunities and challenges for Europe as it seeks new partners and it addressed the looming funding gap for EU wind power manufacturing. This episode was produced by Inga Marsden.
