2025 in review: Onshore wind – all blow, no go?

Europe’s onshore wind sector entered 2025 with renewed investor momentum but familiar delivery hurdles. Developers in Europe took final investment decisions on €11.9 billion (£10.4bn $13.8bn) worth of new projects in just the first half of the year, financing 8.5GW of fresh capacity across the continent. Turbine orders climbed to 8.8GW, confirming a sector still flush with ambition.
