A five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been formed between DN Media Group (Recharge), Hamburg Messe und Congress (HMC), Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) to establish a series of wind energy conferences and exhibitions in Singapore.
The MoU signing ceremony was witnessed by the first mayor of Hamburg, Peter Tschentscher, and Singapore’s ambassador to Germany, Lee Chong Hock, and signed in Hamburg during the Recharge Wind Power Summit 2025, marking the first expansion of the globally-recognised WindEnergy Hamburg brand outside of Europe.
The partnership will see EnterpriseSG and STB support the organisation of the two-day Recharge Wind Power Summit Asia-Pacific, powered by WindEnergy Hamburg, in Singapore in 2026, and the flagship three-day WindEnergy Asia-Pacific powered by Recharge in Singapore in 2027 and 2029. WindEnergy Asia-Pacific will alternate with the biennial WindEnergy Hamburg.
The events will leverage the expertise of WindEnergy Hamburg and Recharge to feature conferences, trade fairs, plenaries, roundtables, networking sessions, and site visits, facilitating business development and policy dialogue among global industry leaders.
These events arrive as wind energy in Asia-Pacific reaches a critical juncture, with countries like Australia, India, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Vietnam announcing substantial wind energy targets. The region is already the world’s largest wind market, with 607.5 gigawatts installed in 2024.
Offshore wind, in particular, is a focus, expected to deliver 50 gigawatts of capacity by 2034, accounting for over 60 per cent of new global offshore capacity additions.
