Europe Signs Landmark Clean Energy Pact
26 Jan
Summary
- European nations commit to 100 GW of offshore wind.
- Pact aims to bolster energy security and sovereignty.
- Agreement signed at the North Sea Summit in Hamburg.

Britain, Germany, Denmark, and other European countries have formalized a clean energy pact, pledging to achieve 100 gigawatts of offshore wind power through collaborative, large-scale projects. This crucial agreement was set to be signed at a summit in Hamburg on Monday, January 26, 2026.
The initiative reinforces Europe's dedication to wind energy, bolstering regional energy security and sovereignty. This commitment follows broader goals set by North Sea countries in 2023 to reach 300 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050, a target amplified by concerns over energy dependencies.
Signatories to Monday's deal include Britain, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Norway. The pact emphasizes joint planning for expansion, grids, and industry implementation across borders to foster clean, affordable energy and strengthen Europe's industrial base and strategic autonomy.
