Advancing wind energy through international research
Since 1977, experts from 22 countries, the European Commission and two sponsor organisations have worked together in 25 joint research tasks to solve the shared challenges of wind energy.
Our research
International research tasks grouped in six areas, from the atmosphere to society. Hover over an area to see its tasks.
About us
Targets
IEA Wind TCP member governments establish national targets for renewable energy and wind energy, design market mechanisms and energy policies, and fund research and development (R&D) programs to help reach these targets.
Capacity
As of 2020, about 85% of the world’s wind generating capacity, and nearly all offshore capacity, resides within the participating countries.
Participating
The IEA Wind TCP is always looking for new members across the globe, and potential new member countries are encouraged to attend meetings and begin the process of joining. For more information on joining the IEA Wind TCP please contact the Secretariat.
Secretariat
The IEA Wind TCP Secretariat is responsible for communications between the members of the ExCo and between the ExCo and Operating Agents, and supporting the ongoing development of the Wind TCP.
Administration
The IEA Wind TCP’s Executive Committee, or ExCo, has overall control of the information exchange and R&D tasks. The ExCo consists of one member and one alternate member from each contracting party.
Research
In addition to their national wind energy development and deployment efforts, each member country participates in at least one IEA Wind TCP research task. R&D tasks performed are approved by the ExCo as Annexes to the original Implementing Agreement.
