- European Wind Energy Association
The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) actively promotes the utilisation of wind power in Europe and worldwide.[ [http://www.ewea.org/index.php?id=5 About EWEA] ] EWEA members from 40 countries include over 300 companies, associations and research institutions. These members are mainly manufacturers (covering 98% of the world wind power market), component suppliers, research institutes, national wind and renewables associations, developers, electricity providers, finance and insurance companies and consultants.][ EWEA argues that wind power could generate up to 16% of Europe's electricity by 2020. [ [http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=48410 EWEA: 180 GW of Wind Power Possible in Europe by 2020] ] ]The EWEA Secretariat, located in Brussels at the Renewable Energy House, co-ordinates European policy, communications, research, and analysis. It manages various European projects, hosts events and supports the needs of its members. EWEA is a founding member of the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) which groups the 8 key renewable industry and research associations under one roof, and of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).ee also
