Onshore Wind Platform
Wind energy is the leading source of renewable energy in the US, and with ambitions to reach 280GW installed onshore wind capacity over the next decade, there is a great potential for Danish onshore wind energy companies. The Onshore Wind Platform supports Danish companies in entering the North American market and benefit from the growing US onshore wind energy industry.
The Onshore Wind Platform brings Danish companies within the North American onshore wind industry together to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration. Our mission is to create synergies between onshore wind companies to provide the best opportunities to expand Danish onshore wind technology in North America.
Through The Onshore Wind Platform, our Advisors across North America will promote Danish onshore wind know-how, update company members with the latest update on the onshore industry in North America, and create partnership opportunities with Danish and US counterparts.
The Onshore Wind Platform is a result of close collaboration between The Trade Council of Denmark in North America and Danish Wind Export.
