Danish Wind Industry Association

Wind – a Renewable Energy Source

The Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) is an interest and interbranch organization with more than 240 members throughout the country. The purpose of DWIA is to promote wind energy in Denmark and internationally. Our objective is to strengthen Denmark as a Wind Power Hub – the leading global competence centre for the development of wind power technology.

DWIA represents manufacturers, energy companies, component suppliers, service companies and consultants – with activities in the global wind industry. The members of DWIA have a leading position on the world market and about every third wind turbine sold worldwide is manufactured by the Danish wind industry.

Our clear goals are;
• That Denmark develops, uses and demonstrates the most efficient, intelligent and reliable technology and knowhow in the field of wind power and hence is a globally leading center of competence for wind-based renewable energy.
• That Denmark is a leading actor in the integration and utilization of wind energy, including the ambitious goal of Denmark becoming the first country to integrate 50% wind power.

The evolution of the Danish energy system has proved wind power to be a reliable, large-scale energy technology. Currently, wind power plants of approximately 3200 MW in Denmark supply more than 20 percent of the annual electricity consumption. And the share is growing.
