WindEurope chair and Nordex CEO José Luis Blanco discusses EU policy, a looming trade war with China and whether the consensus on the energy transition is holding two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Speaking ahead of trade body WindEurope’s annual three-day conference - to be held in Bilbao from March 20 - Blanco examines some of the key policy developments to emerge since the start of the year, including the European Wind Charter and the forthcoming Net Zero Industry Act.

In episode 22 of the Wind Power Podcast, Blanco explains the significance of these policy developments for European turbine firms, developers and the wider supply chain.

Blanco also gave his opinion on whether a trade war between the EU and China is likely in the coming years and what the effect of that might be on the industry.

And he gave his thoughts on whether the hard-won consensus on the urgent need to transition towards renewables and away from reliance on Russian gas, forged in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, is still intact two years on.
