The Global Wind Energy Council has launched a new market intelligence platform offering online insights and analysis of the global wind industry to its members.
GWEC said the platform is supported by the organisation’s own databases, local knowledge and input from industry experts.
Information includes wind energy statistics, market outlooks, country profiles and policy updates, as well as topic-specific analysis, such as offshore wind, wind auctions, turbine technology trends, product segments and component assessment.
There is information listing offshore wind projects, auction results, wind project asset owners and operators and O&M service providers.
The platform also includes reports and databases from FTI Intelligence, after the latter granted GWEC the intellectual property rights for the consultancy’s Global Wind Market Update, Global Wind Supply Chain Update, Offshore Wind Report and Emerging Market Reports as well as associated databases.
GWEC chief executive Ben Backwell said: “I am pleased to announce the launch of GWEC market intelligence services to the global wind industry.
“Our market intelligence team consists of its very own wind energy experts who collaborate with our regional and country members as well as our corporate members to provide high-level and reliable data.
“Bringing the high quality databases and reports from FTI Consulting’s Clean Energy Intelligence unit into GWEC’s own intelligence is an important achievement for the association, and ensures that our market intelligence services will not only bring extra value to our GWEC members, but can also support the growth of the global wind industry and acceleration of the energy transition.”
GWEC director of market intelligence Karin Ohlenforst said: “GWEC market intelligence has been created to better serve GWEC’s members and the industry.
“The platform is our main tool to share our insights and update our members instantly as new data and trends emerge throughout the year.
“The scope and focus of this platform will closely follow industry priorities to open up new business opportunities and emerging markets for our members.
“I am looking forward to further developing the platform, as well as other GWEC market intelligence services, while maintaining a strong baseline of databases and insights that the industry can rely on.”
