Due to the higher costs that specialist wind energy firms face, governments have been forced to provide larger subsidies in order to restore balance to the market.

Consequently, many wind energy stocks have fallen sharply in 2023.

According to an Allianz Research report, the world's eight largest renewable energy firms saw a combined $3 billion decrease in assets in the first half of 2023.

The whole sector is grappling with rising construction and financing costs, quality-control problems and supply-chain issues, Allianz Research economists, via NBC.

Inflation and global energy-price fluctuations have also led to increased costs for wind-power projects, casting doubt over the feasibility of many ventures, Allianz Research economists, via NBC.

Vestas CEO Henrik Anderson suggests that the renewable energy sector has reached an inflection point from which "winners and losers" will emerge over time.

We are very disciplined, we work with our customers and partners can rely on us, and governments can rely on us.
