Wind Industry’s leading companies boost the advocacy and outreach efforts of GWEC in 2022

21 December 2021, Brussels – The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) is preparing to ramp up its advocacy and outreach capacity in 2022 thanks to the overwhelming support from industry for its new member structure, which will provide the foundation for faster operational growth.

On November 24, 2021, at an Extraordinary General Meeting in Copenhagen, the Association’s members voted resoundingly in the “affirmative” to allow the Secretariate to modify its “Articles of Associations”. The vote allowed GWEC to introduce a new leading membership category for those companies looking to step up their engagement on global issues.

The Global Leaders (capped to a maximum of ten companies) will form the basis of the Association’s Executive Council, which will drive the works program and strategy for GWEC moving forward. To date, the companies include Equinor, GE Renewable Energy, Iberdrola, Mainstream, Ørsted, Shell, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE), and Vestas.
