Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering
London, 07 February 2024, (Oilandgaspress): –Danish Henrik Stiesdal and British Andrew Garrad have been working on improving wind power for some 50 years – and have split the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering for their roles.
The winners of the “Nobel prize of engineering” have been announced – and they are two European pioneers of wind energy.
Danish Henrik Stiesdal and British Andrew Garrad – often referred to as the ‘Godfathers of wind’ – share this year’s Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, as a recognition of their critical contributions to the development of wind power.
Judges said their innovations had “enabled wind energy to fulfil a crucial role in today’s electricity generation mix”. A report released today showed that more of Europe’s energy came from wind power than fossil gas for the first time ever in 2023.
