WindEurope welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed revision of the Cybersecurity Act (CSA) and the possible amendments to the NIS2 Directive. We broadly support the direction of the CSA revision, including the reinforcement of ENISA's mandate, the move towards EU-level cybersecurity certification schemes, the recognition of non-technical risks, and the establishment of an EU-level trusted ICT…

WindEurope welcomes the consultation on this draft Implementing Regulation, which is decisive for the environmental integrity and effectiveness of CBAM. However, the proposal raises concerns for both the integrity and practical implementation of CBAM. While the proposal recognises carbon costs in third countries, aspects of it risk introducing uncertainty, administrative burden, and distortions.

WindEurope looks forward to cooperating with the European Commission on a Marine Spatial Planning that balances environmental protection with the deployment of offshore renewable energy. Please find attached our feedback in detail. Our main messages are: 1. The MSP Directive is working well for offshore wind.

WindEurope response to the Call for Evidence Electrification Action Plan 9 October 2025 Wind energy is at the heart of Europe’s energy transition. It already provides 20% of the EU’s electricity and is expected to grow from 236 GW today to 344 GW by 2030, according to WindEurope’s latest data1. The EU’s 2030 target stands at 425 GW in total.

WindEurope welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft implementation guidance of the Cyber Resilience Act. We recommend that the guidance better reflect the reality of complex industrial systems, such as wind energy installations, which rely on a set of critical system functionalities spanning multiple digital components and are deployed as integrated systems with long operational lifetimes rather…

The European Union wants to be climate neutral by 2050. Wind energy will play the biggest role in providing clean and competitive power: it is set to generate 50% of Europes electricity by 2050. And wind energy will be key for Europes energy security as mandated in the EUs REPowerEU strategy and the Wind Power Package. However, the EU is building only just over half the wind volumes it needs to reach its objectives.
