The British Wind Energy Association is the trade and professional body for the UK wind industry. Formed nearly 25 years ago, and with over 290 corporate members, BWEA is the largest renewable energy trade association in the UK. Wind has been the world's fastest-growing renewable energy source for the last seven years, and this trend is expected to continue with falling costs of wind energy and the urgent international need to tackle CO2 emissions to prevent climate change.

Our primary purpose is to promote the use of wind power in and around the UK, both onshore and offshore. We act as a central point for information for our membership and as a lobbying group to promote wind energy to government. We research and find solution to current issues and generally act as the forum for the UK wind industry. We have a professional staff of eight at our Islington offices and an annual turnover in excess of half a million pounds.
