The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) is a member-based organisation that represents the entire wind energy sector. The members of GWEC represent over 1,500 companies, organisations and institutions in more than 80 countries, including manufacturers, developers, component suppliers, research institutes, national wind and renewables associations, electricity providers, finance and insurance companies.

Our members are also all of the national wind industry trade associations, from both established and emerging markets, including the world largest markets of the United States, all the European markets, India and China.

By collaborating across borders and regions, we aim to foster a cleaner, greener future powered by wind energy.

GWEC works at the highest international political level to create a better policy environment for wind power. The GWEC team leads renewable energy delegations at the UNFCCC COP process, SE4ALL and IRENA’s General Assembly.

GWEC and its members are active all over the world, educating local and national governments and international agencies about the benefits of wind power. We also provide expertise to panels at the UN General Assembly and to the International Renewable Energy Agency.

Involvement is only increasing as the energy transition builds, with GWEC driving initiatives in offshore wind with IRENA, the Danish Government and more than 20 national and sub-national governments through the Global Offshore Wind Alliance.
