From growth to integration: how Europe’s wind industry is entering a new phase image

With repowering gaining pace and digital systems advancing, Europe’s wind industry is entering an era shaped by scale, integration and resilience. Husum Wind, Germany’s leading industry event, taking place from 16th to 19th September, offers insights into how Europe’s wind sector is turning maturity into momentum.

In 1989, Husum Wind first took place in a cattle hall on Germany’s stormy North Sea coast. At the time, wind energy was a fringe technology, championed by idealists and engineers operating on the edge of the power sector. That first edition, with just a few dozen exhibitors, captured the pioneering spirit of a technology on the cusp of relevance.

Today, wind energy is anything but marginal. In Germany alone, it supplies over a quarter of electricity. Across Europe, it underpins decarbonisation strategies, powers green hydrogen ambitions and increasingly serves as a pillar of energy security.

But with growth comes complexity. The challenges facing the industry in 2025 are no longer about proving viability. They are about making a distributed, digital and demand-driven system work in real time. This is the landscape that Husum Wind 2025 captures, as a showcase of innovation and a platform for solving the operational challenges of the industry.
