American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has
advocated the development of wind energy as a reliable, environmentally superior
energy alternative in the United States and around the world.
National Wind Coordinating Committee (NWCC)
identifies issues that affect the use of wind power, established dialogue among key stakeholders,
and catalyzes appropriate activities to support the development of environmentally,
economically, and politically sustainable commercial markets for wind power.

Organization of Wind Energy Resources (POWER) was developed to serve as a regional
center of excellence for wind energy. Through POWER, the Energy and
Environmental Research Center (EERC) provides the educational, technical,
and partnership building resources necessary for harnessing and developing
the vast wind resources of the central and upper Great Plains.
Utility Wind Integration Group
(UWIG), previously the Utility Wind Interest Group, was established in 1989 to provide a forum for the critical
analysis of wind technology for utility applications and to serve as a source of credible information
on the status of wind technology and deployment. The group holds technical wind forums and engages in
other technical program activities through the coordinated efforts and actions of its members. It operates
in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and its National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which provide
co-funding for the group.
Windustry is a
non-profit organization working to increase wind energy opportunities for rural landowners and communities by providing technical support and creating tools for analysis.
