Wirtschaftsverband Windkraftwerke

About

Founded in 1996, Wirtschaftsverband Windkraftwerke is a ngo headquartered in Germany with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Wind.

Wirtschaftsverband Windkraftwerke e.V. is a German trade association founded in 1996 dedicated to promoting wind energy development. The organization represents planning companies, operators of wind parks and individual turbines, component manufacturers, and consulting firms. The association operates with a lean six-member voluntary board chaired by Lothar Schulze, with most membership fees directed toward political advocacy rather than administrative overhead. The WVW engages directly with government decision-makers, parliamentary committees, and ministry officials to shape regulatory frameworks. Key focus areas include accelerating permitting processes, securing adequate area designations for wind energy, simplifying environmental compliance procedures, and ensuring fair grid connection procedures. The association emphasizes wind power's role in climate protection and German energy transition goals.
