About WINGSPAN

Join us in Berlin for the second edition of Wingspan, the biennial conference for a nature-positive energy transition.

Renewables Grid Initiative, TB Raab, and 50Hertz warmly invite you to Berlin on 3-5 November for “Wingspan 2026 – From Partnerships to Practice: Accelerating Nature-Positive Energy Infrastructure.” This event is a series of biennial conferences for conservationists, scientists, grid operators, renewable developers, and government representatives to share strategies, policy insights and technical solutions for a nature-positive energy transition. Topics will cover recent scientific findings, state-of-the-art conservation strategies, policy frameworks, and nature-inclusive technological innovations, with a special focus on ecosystem and species conservation along electricity grids and onshore wind energy.

Wingspan 2026 aims to foster cross-sector dialogue among a diverse range of key stakeholders to address the urgent need for a nature-positive energy transition, accelerating progress toward both renewable energy and biodiversity goals.

Sign up for Wingspan 2026 today to get access to two full days of panel discussions, scientific presentations, a poster session, networking opportunities and a vendor fair showcasing state-of-the-art mitigation and nature-inclusive solutions for onshore wind and electricity grid. Exhibitors will present diverse solutions, designed to protect species while supporting the acceleration of the energy transition.

We are offering optional side activities with limited capacity – sign up early to secure your place:

• 2 November: Networking dinner for participants to get to know each other and engage with the conference topics in a relaxed and informal setting (extra fee).
• 5 November: Field trip to a site around Berlin where best practice solutions are implemented for nature protection (free of charge).
