The IEA Wind TCP is an international co-operation of 22 countries and 2 sponsor members that share information and research activities to advance wind energy deployment.
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.
As of 2020, about 85% of the world’s wind generating capacity–and nearly all offshore capacity–resides within the participating countries. To learn more about the work of each participating member, please click on any of the countries or sponsors below.

About Participating
The IEA Wind TCP seeks to develop and deploy wind energy technology through vigorous national programs and the co-operative international efforts of its member countries and sponsors.
Participants currently include 23 member countries from Europe, North America, and Asia, as well as the Chinese Wind Energy Association, the European Commission, and WindEurope (formerly the European Wind Energy Association).
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, click here.
Membership
IEA Wind Membership
The IEA Wind TCP is a membership-based organization. The TCP accommodates collaboration among different entities, such as government institutions, universities, utilities, and private companies.
Together, these member countries and sponsors multiply the work of national efforts with information exchange and joint research and development projects. These activities stimulate co-operation on wind energy research and development and provide high quality information and analysis to member governments and commercial sector leaders. Co-operative research and information sharing also accelerate the pace of technology development, promote standardization (through Recommended Practices), and saves time and money in national research programs.
Benefits of Participation
IEA Wind membership multiplies the work of national efforts with information exchange and joint research and development projects.
The Strategic Plan goal is “…to stimulate co-operation on wind energy research and development and to provide high-quality information and analysis to member governments and commercial sector leaders by addressing technology development and deployment and its benefits, markets, and policy instruments.”
Cooperative research and information sharing also accelerate the pace of technology development, promote standardization through recommended practices, and save time and money in national research programs. The following two documents provide more detail about current activities and accomplishments.
How To Join
Membership is open to any country or institution with an active wind energy program, and prospective members are encouraged to join.
