Hamburg, 21 May 2026. On May 20, Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice\u2011President of the European Commission for a Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, visited the Nordex Group\u2019s headquarters and Global Technical Academy in Hamburg. Nordex CEO Jos\u00e9\u202fLuis\u202fBlanco and CFO Dr Ilya Hartmann hosted the event and presented Nordex\u2019s role as a leading European industrial player in onshore wind energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visit to Nordex reflects the European Commission\u2019s clear priority to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and electrification of the economy as a cornerstone of Europe\u2019s energy system. In discussions with Nordex, renewable energies \u2013 and wind power in particular \u2013 were highlighted as essential to strengthening Europe\u2019s sovereignty and economic resilience. Wind energy, being a domestic and one of the cheapest energy resources, has a key role in rapidly reducing structural dependencies, stabilizing electricity prices for consumers and supporting Europe\u2019s long-term industrial competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice\u2011President of the European Commission commented: \u201cThe current energy crisis shows that Europe\u2019s greatest resilience lies in homegrown renewable energy, not in imported fossil fuels exposed to geopolitical shocks. Wind does not get trapped in the Strait of Hormuz. This moment can become a turning point for Europe: accelerating renewables, investing massively in European clean technologies, strengthening our grids and speeding up electrification. This is the path towards greater security, stability and competitiveness for Europeans\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRenewable energy and wind power in particular are not only a climate solution \u2013 they are a strategic technology for Europe,\u201d said Jos\u00e9\u202fLuis\u202fBlanco, Chief Executive Officer of the Nordex Group. \u201cWind strengthens Europe\u2019s energy security and reduces Europe\u2019s exposure to external shocks. It is a technology that is underpinned by competitive industrial base.\u201d Referring to the visit in the academy, he said: \u201cIn our academies, we build the expertise of our work force that drives the energy transition in the field \u2013 from installation to operation and service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through Nordex Technical Academies, the Nordex Group provides standardized global training to engineers, technicians, and partners across Europe and other regions, forming the foundation for technological excellence, quality assurance, and safety on a worldwide scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visit of EVP Teresa Ribera underlined the close link between European industrial policy, energy security and the deployment of renewable energy technologies. As one of Europe\u2019s leading manufacturers of onshore wind turbines, Nordex positions itself as an integral part of Europe\u2019s clean energy transition and long-term competitiveness. Of the company\u2019s 11,100 employees worldwide, 8,200 are based in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
