Oslo, Norway — 16.01.25 — As Europe gears up for a significant onshore wind expansion towards 2030 targets, Norwegian technology company Vind AI is launching a cutting-edge digital platform to support in designing and assessing onshore wind parks more efficiently, smarter, and with a sharper focus on environmental and community impacts.

The onshore version of Vind AI supports data-driven decision-making in the development of individual wind farms through precision yield optimization, noise and shadow analysis, and environmental visualisations, while also providing a comprehensive overview of an entire portfolio of wind farms, enabling detailed comparisons for enhanced performance and strategic planning.

"Scaling onshore wind is essential to meet Europe’s demand for affordable clean energy, and digital and AI-powered tools can now transform project planning and design," says Helene Bøhler, CEO of Vind AI. "After launching our offshore wind platform in 2022, we have now expanded our platform to support both sectors. Even before launch, we’ve seen enormous interest from the market, reflecting the growing momentum to develop onshore wind more efficiently and sustainably."

Built on the foundation of a leading offshore wind platform

Vind AI’s platform for offshore wind is already trusted by Europe’s leading wind developers, including RWE, EnBW, TotalEnergies and Corio Generation. 

“Vind AI has emerged as a key player in the wind industry, leveraging cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to significantly accelerate the development of wind farms across Europe,” says Diana Barrios, Head of Membership at WindEurope, the sector organisation for wind power in Europe. “Their innovative platform is enabling major developers to optimize designs and reduce timelines, which is crucial for meeting Europe’s ambitious renewable energy targets.”

“Vind AI’s platform allows us to manage more projects without sacrificing accuracy. By providing precise data earlier, we make faster, more informed decisions, ensuring high-quality designs. This efficiency not only strengthens trust with stakeholders but also accelerates our overall project assessment process.” says Mats Jønland, Business and Project Developer at Eviny.

Vind AI shaped the onshore platform in close collaboration with renewable energy players like Eviny, Hafslund, Hydro Rein, OX2, Qair, and Cloudberry.  They provided critical insights during the development phase of the platform, ensuring the platform addresses real-world challenges faced by developers. "Vind AI’s platform stands out by enabling us to design wind parks that respect both environmental and community concerns," said Gerson Lopes, Technical Manager from Hydro Rein, which has over 60 wind, solar and energy efficiency projects in its portfolio. "This approach is crucial, as public support and environmental responsibility become increasingly central to the success of onshore wind projects."

Closing the 175 GW wind power capacity gap

With the launch of this new platform, Vind AI aims to play a pivotal role in Europe's next phase of onshore wind development. Europe must add 175 GW of wind power capacity by 2030 to reach its 425 GW target. This will require much faster development timelines than in the past, while designing high-quality projects that retain the support of local communities and the public. 

While offshore wind is making up an increasing share of the mix, onshore wind is expected to account for two-thirds of new wind power capacity until 2030. 

Countries across Europe are now refocusing on onshore wind as part of their energy transition strategies. After a period of slowed development, new legislative and market momentum is driving large-scale onshore projects. 

"This is a chance to do things differently," adds Helene Bøhler. "It isn’t just about scaling up—it’s about building smarter, faster, and with greater respect for the local communities and environments. Our platform is ready to help developers and investors meet that challenge."
