Denmark on 26, November, Mette Frederiksen, will address the
event. Then Energy Minsters from around Europe and offshore wind
industry leaders will complete the opening session.
Denmark has been at the forefront of wind energy development with
the world's first ever offshore wind farm - Vindeby - in 1991.
Since then the Danish wind industry has become a global
powerhouse and is helping to drive the energy transition in
Europe.
Offshore wind is now uniquely positioned to help power a carbon
neutral, competitive, and secure Europe. According to the
International Energy Agency, offshore wind will be Europe's
number one source of power generation by 2040.
WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson said: "The wind industry is deeply
honored that HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark will deliver
the opening address at WindEurope Offshore 2019. Europe wants to
achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and offshore wind will play a
key role in that. It need champions to make it happen. And there
are no greater champions than the Kingdom of Denmark. And no
greater signal of their leadership than that their Crown Prince
and Prime Minister come and open WindEurope Offshore 2019."
