Welcome to IEA Wind
This is the Home Page of International Energy Agency* (IEA) Implementing Agreement for Co-operation in the Research, Development, and Deployment of Wind Energy Systems - IEA Wind.
Founded in 1974, the IEA Wind Agreement sponsors cooperative research tasks and provides a forum for international discussion of research and development issues. Here you will find information about the IEA Wind cooperative agreement and its activities and accomplishments. You will also find details of the activities of its 20 Member Countries, the European Commission, the European Wind Energy Association, and the Chinese Wind Energy Association.
*The IEA Wind agreement, also known as the Implementing Agreement for Co-operation in the Research, Development, and Deployment of Wind Energy Systems, functions within a framework created by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Views, findings, and publications of IEA Wind do not necessarily represent the views or policies of the IEA Secretariat or of all its individual member countries.
