The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) was established in early 2005 to provide a credible and representative forum for the entire wind energy sector at an international level.
GWEC's mission is to ensure that wind power establishes itself as one of the world's leading energy sources, providing substantial environmental and economic benefits.
The main objective of is to promote the development and growth of wind energy around the world through:
Policy development
To participate in policy and regulatory forums that can assist the creation of frameworks for wind power development.
Business leadership
To provide the strategic and business leadership needed to engage external stakeholders.
Global outreach
To work with emerging markets to transfer know-how and strengthen the development of wind energy world-wide.
Information and education
To serve as a platform for providing quality information, expertise, analysis and data about wind energy.
GWEC is the voice of the global wind energy sector
As the market has expanded, the leading wind power associations around the world have become increasingly linked through overlapping membership and bilateral activities. Global institutions and agreements – from the United Nations Kyoto Protocol to the World Bank's funding for project initiatives – require a united response from the industry and associations.
GWEC brings together the major national, regional and continental associations representing the wind power sector, and the leading international wind energy companies and institutions.
With a combined membership of over 1,500 organisations involved in hardware manufacture, project development, power generation, finance and consultancy, as well as researchers, academics and associations, GWEC's member associations represent the entire wind energy community.
The members of GWEC represent:
- Over 1,500 companies, organisations and institutions in more than 50 countries
- All the world's major wind turbine manufacturers
- 99 % of the world's nearly 60,000 MW of installed capacity
