Canada
Canadian Association for Renewable Energies
Membership organization that promotes greater awareness of the benefits of renewable energies to Canada’s economy, environment and society; advances the adoption of renewable energies in all sectors and in all feasible applications; and undertakes research that will optimize renewable energy technologies.
Canadian Wind Energy Association (CWEA)
The Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) is a non-profit trade association that promotes the appropriate development and application of all aspects of wind energy in Canada, including the creation of a suitable policy environment. Established in 1984, CanWEA represents the wind energy community — organizations and individuals who are directly involved in the development and application of wind energy technology, products and services. CanWEA’s goal is to achieve 12,000 MW of installed wind energy capacity in Canada by 2016.
Denmark
Danish Society of Wind energy is a professional and scientific association for the wind industry in Denmark with members from both a range of research and wind players and a number of individuals.
Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA)
The Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) is a non-profit association whose purpose is to promote wind energy at home and abroad. The association was founded in 1981. DWIA today represents 99.9 per cent of Danish wind turbine manufacturing measured in MW and more than 180 companies with activities in the Danish wind industry.
Danish Wind Turbine Owners' Association
Represents wind turbine manufacturers in Denmark.
Risoe National Laboratory, Wind Energy Department
Our work is concerned with the nature of the atmosphere and how it affects life on Earth. One particular aspect of the atmosphere keeps us busy: The wind and the energy that may be extracted from it. The Wind Energy Division seeks to meet the needs for scientifically based knowledge, methods and procedures from government, the scientific community and the wind turbine industry.
European Union
European Renewable Energies Federation (EREF)
Federation of associations from EU Member States, which are working in the sector of energy produced from renewable sources, such as small hydro, wind, tidal, wave, bioenergy, solar and geothermal sources.
European Wind Energy Association (EWEA)
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 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. This combined strength makes EWEA the world’s largest and most powerful wind energy network.
