Nature restoration and #windenergy go hand in hand. 🤝 🌏

With its Nature Restoration Law the EU is planning new legislation to restore Europe’s natural #ecosystems. What's the role of wind energy in this process?

A thread 🧵👇

windeurope.org/newsroom/press…
The European Commission has proposed binding #restoration targets for specific habitats and species. The EU now aims to restore 30% of the EU’s degraded areas, and ultimately all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050.

The @EPPGroup in the @Europarl_EN has suggested the 30% nature restoration target and the #energytransition were incompatible.

This is fundamentally wrong (!). Nature restoration and the expansion of #windenergy go hand in hand.

Wind farms can also have positive effects on local biodiversity. Examples from @WWF @WWFEU @Orsted @Vattenfall @Equinor and others show how we are actively helping to improve bird habitats, regenerate seabeds, recover fish stocks and develop aquacultures.

After a decade of stagnation, we sense a wind of change in #CentralEurope. Governments must now use the National Energy Climate Plans (#NECPs) submission to translate these recent improvements into higher targets for #windenergy.

The accelerated build-out of #renewables will increase #energysecurity in Central Europe and bring down the #electricityprice for local industry and households by up to 29%, according to @EmberClimate research. An onshore wind farm in Cen...
