The EoLIS 2025 conference, organized by WindEurope, is scheduled to take place on November 20-21 in Lisbon, Portugal. This event will address critical issues surrounding the end-of-life management of wind turbines, a topic that has gained increasing importance as the renewable energy sector matures. With only 20 registration spots left, the conference is expected to attract over 250 participants, including wind farm operators, developers, manufacturers, and experts in sustainability and circular economy practices.

The conference will feature more than 15 sessions that delve into various aspects of turbine end-of-life strategies. Key topics include the management of blade waste, innovative methods for reusing old turbines, extending the operational life of existing turbines, repowering initiatives, and the challenges associated with offshore decommissioning. Additionally, discussions will cover the use of rare earth materials and permanent magnets in turbine technology.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with a diverse lineup of speakers who are leaders in the fields of end-of-life management and sustainability. This gathering aims to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among industry stakeholders, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices in the wind energy sector.

The event will also include networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect over traditional Portuguese cuisine during a dinner on November 20. As the wind energy industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact, conferences like EoLIS 2025 play a crucial role in addressing these challenges and promoting best practices.

As the date approaches, interested parties are encouraged to register promptly to secure their place at this pivotal event, which marks WindEurope’s final conference of the year.
