WindNODE results

As part of the WindNODE project, Energie Saxony carried out an analysis of the development of the energy transition in the European context in order to network WindNODE project partners and pioneering projects.

As the coordinator of a permanent cooperation network in the Saxon energy sector, Energy Saxony supported the WindNODE showcase project in the areas of internationalization, the development of unused synergy potential as well as communication and external presentation and identified European projects that addressed at least one of the following core topics as part of a mapping process:
