Teresa Ribera visited the headquarters and Global Technical Academy of Nordex Group in Hamburg on May 20 as the European Union increases focus on renewable energy, electrification, and industrial competitiveness.

Nordex Chief Executive Officer José Luis Blanco and Chief Financial Officer Ilya Hartmann hosted the visit and discussed the company’s role in Europe’s onshore wind energy sector.

Wind Energy Linked To Europe’s Energy Security Goals

During the discussions, European officials highlighted renewable energy and wind power as important parts of Europe’s long-term energy strategy. Ribera said the current energy situation has increased attention on domestic renewable energy sources as countries seek to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.

She stated that wind energy could support energy security, electricity price stability, and industrial competitiveness across Europe. Ribera also pointed to investments in clean technologies, electricity grids, and electrification as priorities for the European Commission.

Nordex officials said wind energy remains one of Europe’s major industrial and strategic technologies. The company added that technical training and workforce development are becoming increasingly important as renewable energy projects expand globally.
