ERG a Wind Europe 2025

The energy transition is more than just a vision—it is a strategic necessity that demands clear direction and decisive action. At WindEurope 2025, ERG will actively contribute to shaping the future of renewables in Europe, focusing on key policy and market mechanisms essential for accelerating the shift towards clean energy. 

Repowering: Unlocking Growth Without Expanding Land Use 

One of the central themes of the event will be repowering, a powerful catalyst for growth. Luca Bragoli, Chief Regulatory & Public Affairs Officer, will outline how replacing outdated wind turbines with cutting-edge technology can double energy capacity and triple production—without the need for additional land use. His intervention will highlight the importance of dedicated auction schemes, optimized grid connections, and clear regulatory frameworks in unlocking the full potential of repowering, particularly in France, Italy, and Germany. 

Regulatory Clarity and Permitting Reform 

For wind energy to scale efficiently, regulatory certainty and streamlined permitting processes are essential. Nicolas Smadja, Head of Legal Affairs at ERG France, will present how France’s evolving policy framework can facilitate repowering, providing a blueprint for Europe to accelerate deployment while maintaining environmental and community considerations. 

Market Stability and Investor Confidence 

A sustainable renewable energy sector depends on financial stability and investor trust. Simon Steen Moeller, Head of International Affairs, will highlight the necessity of long-term contracting mechanisms such as Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). These tools mitigate risks related to curtailment and grid congestion, ensuring a predictable investment climate that fosters long-term growth. 

Building a Resilient Renewable Future 

At ERG, the energy transition is not just about adaptation—it is about leadership. By driving innovation in efficiency and policy advocacy, ERG transforms challenges into opportunities, shaping a stronger, more resilient renewable energy landscape across Europe.
