Virginia Wind Energy Collaborative
- Mountaineer Wind Energy Center (Don Giecek, December 2004)
The Virginia Wind Energy Collaborative (VWEC) was established to educate the public and inform decision-makers about wind power development in Virginia, in support of the Commonwealth’s need for reliable and affordable energy, environmental quality, and economic development.
The Virginia Wind Energy Collaborative supports the balanced development of wind-derived energy in Virginia by providing information and analyses relevant to utility-scale, community-based, and smaller-scale applications. VWEC also provides a forum for collaboration among stakeholders and organizations interested in the benefits and opportunities associated with wind power development in the Commonwealth.
VWEC is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy – Energy Division. VWEC facilitates a range of activities and events that serve small businesses, utilities, non-profit organizations, wind developers, consultants, public officials, landowners, environmental organizations, universities, government agencies, and Virginia’s communities.
