The New Zealand Wind Energy Association (NZWEA) was established in 1997. It is a membership-based industry association that promotes the development of wind as a reliable, sustainable, clean and commercially viable energy source.
NZWEA aims to fairly represent wind energy to the public, government and the energy sector. Its focus is on utility-scale wind generation, covering onshore wind energy and offshore wind energy. We are a central point for information for our members and a trusted voice in the debate about wind energy in New Zealand. Our members include almost 80 companies (domestic and international) involved in New Zealand’s wind energy sector, including, electricity generators, wind farm developers, lines companies, turbine manufacturers, consulting firms, researchers and law firms.
