Continuing with the parallel activities of NAVALIA 2012, the start of the International Symposium of energy efficiency E-FISHING, will join a conference dedicated to the installation of offshore wind farms, specifically to the construction of new vessels to facilitate the creation of these offshore, an area in which both Galician shipyards and auxiliary industries have demonstrated an important leadership in recent years.
Offshore wind energy has, according to experts, a promising future especially in countries with high population density. According to estimates by the European Union, this energy will account for more than two thirds of all electricity production from renewable sources by 2030, so almost 40% of the total. Because in the sea, the wind is a variable surface roughness (waves) and without any obstacles, so the wind speed barely changed. On the other hand, the latest tally released by the European Wind Energy Association, EWEA, states that wind power generation will have a healthy grow throughout this decade and will "triple in 2020, with an investment of 194 billion Euros "in the sector.
Spanish energy group Iberdrola, conscious of the great opportunities offered by this energy, already ranks as the world leader in technological development of such projects. A few weeks ago the company shows its intention to set up its first maritime offshore wind (offshore) in Germany, the Wikinger one, located on the coast of the Baltic Germanic Sea.
