European Wind Energy Association
The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) is the voice of the wind industry, actively promoting the utilisation of wind power in Europe and worldwide. It is situated in the Renewable Energy House in Brussels ensuring close proximity to European decision-makers. EWEA now has over 500 members from over 50 countries including manufacturers with a 90% share of the global wind power market, plus component suppliers, research institutes, national wind and renewables associations, developers, contractors, electricity providers, finance and insurance companies and consultants. EWEA coordinates international policy, communications, research and analysis, provides various services to support members’ requirements, and also organises high-profile industry events. EWEA analyses, formulates and establishes policy positions for the wind industry on key issues, cooperating with industry and research institutions on a number of market development and technology research projects. In addition, the lobbying activities undertaken by EWEA help create a suitable legal framework within which members can successfully develop their businesses. Due to a growing need to raise the wind industry’s profile, EWEA produces a large variety of information tools and manages campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of wind, dispelling the myths about wind energy and providing easy access to credible information.
EWEA is a founder member of the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) which groups the eight key renewable industry and research associations under one roof, and of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
