WindEnergy Hamburg 2026

September 22-25, 2026

WindEnergy Hamburg addresses the major issues facing the on- and offshore international wind energy sector. It brings together a professional audience from about 100 nations and 1,600 exhibitors demonstrating their innovations and solutions from across the entire value chain of the world’s wind industry.

The worldwide growth trend in wind power continues. There is an ongoing demand for onshore wind energy plants. At the same time, requirements and regulations for plants are getting stricter, whether in extreme climatic regions or in low-wind-speed areas. The industry is now developing onshore plants that are tailored to specific situations. Furthermore, repowering – the replacement of old plants with new, more efficient ones – is advancing steadily. Here, the industry is firmly demonstrating its innovative strengths – working to ensure sustainable growth and create added value.

The exploitation of offshore wind energy offers attractive market opportunities. While the current focus is firmly on Europe, there is potential for strong growth in North America and on a global scale. The Global Wind Energy Council expects that 557 GW of new capacity will be added worldwide in the next five years – that equates to more than 110 GW of new installations each year until 2026.

The areas where the onshore and offshore industries overlap are considerable, but technology, logistics, financing, and the different market players themselves, remain clearly distinct from each other. The success of offshore wind energy exploitation depends, above all, on the effective combination of wind energy sector competencies and those of the maritime industry. WindEnergy Hamburg gives exhibitors and visitors the opportunity to expand their knowledge and intensify contacts. There will be a professional program with specialized panels, workshops, and lectures – all playing a significant contribution to the development of the wind energy sector.

This year’s WindEnergy Hamburg will also be followed by the H2 EXPO & Conference in October, which reflects the full spectrum of the hydrogen economy: https://www.h2expo.com/ 

WindEnergy Hamburg is organized by Hamburg Messe and Congress. The Global Partner for this trade show is the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). The European Partner for this trade show is Wind Europe. Other Partners include the trade associations BWE and VDMA. 

Companies from the United States are invited to participate in WindEnergy Hamburg. The goal is to grow the partnership in the wind energy sector on a global scale. The U.S Commercial Service, a competent partner in business operations matters, supports U.S. Exhibitors who wish to establish their companies in Germany.
