Fatih Birol, the chief economist at the International Energy Agency, also attended the event and stated that nearly all onshore wind projects in the EU will be competitive with natural gas in the near future.
Onshore wind is expected to achieve grid parity with the other energy technologies within the EU by around 2015, and then offshore wind projects would shortly follow in 2022 or 2023.

As a result of the economic crisis renewables have seen bank lending and government support decline in recent times, but institutional investors such as insurance firms and pension funds have taken up the slack, increasing their investments in the renewable sector.
