The British Wind Energy Association

The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) is the professional Association for the UK wind industry, which represents over 300 companies. The BWEA released a report February 24, 2004 showing that "over a gigawatt of new wind capacity will be installed in the UK over the next 24 months, with an investment of over £1 billion and an end result of enough clean electricity to power a million homes." The Media section provides more information on the survey and provides a link to a full list of projects due to be built in 2004 along with a map showing the locations of the wind farms. The Wind Energy section answers some Frequently Asked Questions about wind energy and provides more information about inshore and offshore wind energy, including best practice guidelines, color photos, and video footage of "wind energy in action."
