About Task 19

The international expert group IEA Wind TCP Task 19 “Wind Energy in Cold Climates” gathers and provides information about wind energy in cold climates

Cold Climate areas are regions where icing events or periods with temperatures below the operational limits of standard wind turbines occur, which may impact project implementation, economics, and safety.

Our mission is to improve the large-scale deployment of cold climate wind power in a safe and economically feasible manner.

The group studies a variety of topics, including project development; operation and maintenance (O&M); health, safety, and environment (HSE), standardization, and recent research.
