8. Conclusion

Alongside solar energy, wind power is currently the fastest-growing energy source. It has reached a competitive price level (€50 to €80/MWh), which will become even more so as the price of fossil fuels, currently low, rises.

What's more, thanks to the development of land-based offshore wind power and, in the future, floating offshore wind power, the growth potential for wind power is still enormous.

Although the world's wind energy resources are unevenly distributed, and the impact of wind power plants (landscape and noise) sometimes provokes virulent opposition in wealthy countries, wind energy is destined to play an essential role in the energy transition.

Developing a wind farm project is a complex process, requiring a thorough understanding not only of the wind resource, but also of all the factors that influence...
