The New Zealand Wind Energy Association (NZWEA) is a membership-based industry association that promotes the development and operations of wind as a reliable, sustainable, clean and commercially viable energy source.
We aim to fairly represent wind energy to the public, government, and the energy sector. Our focus is on utility-scale wind generation (generally over 1MW). We are a central point for information for our members and a trusted voice in Aotearoa New Zealand on wind energy matters.
We recognise that wind energy has a key role to play in the future of Aotearoa New Zealand’s electricity generation portfolio to both ensure consumer demand can be met and in reducing sector carbon emissions.
We work hard to ensure that Aotearoa New Zealand's world class wind energy resource is harnessed in a responsible and sustainable manner for generations to come.
Our members include over 75 companies involved in the wind energy sector, including:
- electricity generators
- wind farm developers
- lines companies
- turbine manufacturers
- consulting firms
- researchers
- law firms
By being a member of NZWEA you are assisting the development of wind energy and helping to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to meet climate change targets.
