This sponsorship pack contains information on our upcoming flagship events in 2025; Blades USA & Blades Europe.

As global demand for clean energy sources rises, driven by new government environmental policies worldwide, wind turbines are experiencing significant advancements in both size and efficiency. Over the past year, more than 440GW of new wind power capacity has been connected to power grids globally, bringing the total installed wind capacity to 906 GW—a 9% growth compared to the previous year.

However, to meet ambitious global clean energy targets, the wind power sector faces challenging issues in blade design and maintenance. With approximately 235,000 blades in active service in the United States and a significant number in Europe, many are either approaching or are already at the end of their 20-year life cycles. This highlights the critical need for effective design, manufacture, operation, and recycling strategies.

Key areas of focus include:

• Integrating historical usage, telemetry, and damage data into the design of new blades.
• Conducting thorough inspections and addressing degradation, repairs, and retrofits for deployed blades.
• Streamlining data streams to enhance blade operations.
• Addressing the replacement of approximately 190,000 blades in the US within the next two decades through repurposing, recycling, and repowering initiatives.

Our Blades USA 2025 event and Blades Europe 2025 event will unite owner-operators, the blades supply chain, and stakeholders to share experiences, benchmark best practices, and address industry challenges. These events offer essential insights into technical innovations and strategic developments, promoting the adoption of advanced wind energy solutions globally.
