In a first statement, he underlined the important role of small wind in the future energy supply and the importance of strict quality standards for this technology.
Morten V. Petersen, Chair of WWEA Small Wind: “Small wind has to play a vital role in the global energy supply, in particular in a more distributed energy system. This is the case for industrialized countries, like my home country Denmark, but even more in the developing world where small wind hybrid system are often the ideal and only practical solution to provide energy access.
We must be aware that in order to increase small wind share in the global energy mix, the industry has still to grow and mature, with the help of smart government policies which support the uptake of this sector. One key for the success of small wind will be the focus on global and harmonized quality standards."
Stefan Gsänger, WWEA Secretary General: “I look forward to working even more closely with Morten on small wind dissemination strategies.
