North American Wind Energy Academy
Building the Future of Wind Energy—Together
The North American Wind Energy Academy (NAWEA) unites researchers, educators, students, and industry leaders to drive innovation and collaboration in wind energy. While wind power is already one of the most affordable sources of electricity, unlocking its full potential requires continued progress. NAWEA fosters partnerships that accelerate scientific advancements, cultivate the next generation of wind energy leaders, and provide valuable information that bridges traditional scientific disciplines. By strengthening research, education, and engagement, NAWEA is helping wind energy deliver on its promise of a more affordable, resilient, and expanding energy system—one that lowers costs for families and businesses while enhancing energy security.
