WIND Vision 25 -
Special conference for LVEA 20th anniversary
The Lithuanian Wind Energy Association (LVEA) is 20 years old. During these years, the role of wind energy in the Lithuanian energy sector and in Europe has changed dramatically. What were the main events that shaped the sector and what steps, in retrospect, could have been avoided? Where is the Lithuanian wind industry today and where would we like to see it in 5-10 years? How to reconcile the expectations of all stakeholders with the needs of the state? All these questions will be discussed at the conference "WIND Vision 2025" organised by LVEA.
