Henrik Andersen elected as new WindEurope Chair
London, March 26, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) ––WindEurope’s Board of Directors has elected Henrik Andersen, Group President and CEO of Vestas, as the association’s new Chair for an 18-month term. WindEurope is the industry association representing more than 600 companies and 300,000 jobs from across the whole value chain of wind energy in Europe.
Henrik Andersen’s term as Chair for WindEurope comes at a crucial time for the wind industry, when Europe is accelerating its energy transformation and seeking to strengthen its industrial competitiveness. During the term it is expected that several important regulatory packages will be finalised, passed and implemented on national level.
“We are in a defining moment for Europe’s future. We need an industry and an energy source that can deliver home-grown, secure and affordable energy, while strengthening Europe’s competitiveness. Wind energy can contribute to all of this, and now is the time for Europe to bolster its wind industry. The European Commission and member states have set high targets, but this momentum must translate ambition into implementation. I am honoured to serve as Chair of WindEurope in this crucial time for Europe and for wind energy. I look forward to working closely with Vice Chair, Rasmus Errboe, and extend my thanks to the Wind Europe members for trusting in me as your Chair for the coming eighteen months.” says Henrik Andersen, CEO of Vestas and incoming Chair of WindEurope.
As Chair, Henrik Andersen has three key priorities to ensure a strong and independent European wind industry;
• Drive European competitiveness – Wind is central to achieving competitiveness in Europe and is the right tool to deliver energy independence, affordability and security
• Accelerate electrification – The business case for electrification must improve, and directional policies (such as the Clean Industrial Deal) must be translated into implementation
• Strengthen wind’s market environment – Permitting efficiencies, economically viable wind projects and improved grid infrastructure are critical to scale-up wind.
The WindEurope Board also elected Rasmus Errboe, Group President and CEO of Ørsted, as its new Vice-Chair.
