Interesting visit by Candidate for the European Parliament
24/8/2023
On Wednesday, August 23, 2023, Viking Wind hosted a visit from two Radical politicians, Anne Sophie Callesen and Søren Mikkelsen. The meeting was arranged following a request from Radical politicians, who were interested in hearing about wind energy in general and what future perspectives there are for the industry. They also wanted to know more about the challenges wind energy faces on a European level versus other energy sources.
It was also asked what challenges and barriers Viking Wind, as a manufacturer of small wind turbines in Denmark, faces in general.
The CEO of Viking Wind, Ulrich Høgenhaven, mentioned, among other things, the challenges that exist with regard to Energy Communities at national level, but also the barriers you encounter with type approvals across EU countries and globally when you as a manufacturer of small wind turbines want to sell your turbines on the world market.
There was also time for a tour of the company headquarters on Holger Danskes vej in Randers before the visit ended.

Off to a good start after summer vacation
At Viking Wind, everyone is back after a successful summer vacation and the wheels (or rather the wings) are spinning merrily again. We have already cast the first foundation after the vacation and the final installation of the turbine is expected in week 37.
