9th World Wind Energy Conference 2010
Large Scale Integration of Wind Power
Istanbul, Turkey – 15-17 June 2010

The World Wind Energy Association WWEA and Eurosolar Turkey welcome the presence of those 400 participants attending this conference and 1000 visitors attending the exhibition, from wind and all other renewable energy technologies. The conference covered all aspects of wind utilisation, related policies, manufacturing, development, operation as well as economic and social issues, with a special focus on large-scale integration of wind power and integrated renewable energy solutions such as hybrid systems.

Especially against the background of the disaster of the ongoing oil spill in the Mexican Gulf and the apparent inability of the responsible industries and governments to stop it, the Conference calls for an immediate switch away from such polluting and limited fossil energy resources to renewable energies. 

Programme now available – more than 150 presentations from all over the world:

CONFERENCE RESOLUTION AND COMMUNIQUÉ
8th World Wind Energy Conference 2009
Wind Power for Islands – Offshore and Onshore
Jeju Island, Korea, 23-25 June 2009

The World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), in association with the Korea Wind Energy Association (KWEA), acknowledges and welcomes the presence of those 600 participants attending this Conference from wind and associated renewable energy technologies. The interests include all aspects of sustainable wind technology development, design, manufacturing, operation and implementation, with a special focus on offshore wind power and integrated renewable energy solutions such as hybrid systems. 

Honorary Award for Governor of Jeju Province, Mr Kim Tae Hwan

Jeju/Bonn (WWEA) – On the occasion of the 8th World Wind Energy Conference 2009 on Jeju island, Korea, the Board of the World Wind Energy Association has decided to give the World Wind Energy Award 2009 to the Hon. George Smitherman, Deputy Premier and Minister of Energy and Infrastructure of Ontario, largest Province of Canada.

The World Wind Energy Award has been given for Minister Smitherman’s outstanding achievements in making Ontario the leading wind energy jurisdiction in North America. Under his political responsibility and leadership in the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, the Green Energy and Economy Act was initiated and adopted as a decisive step in establishing a strong domestic wind and renewable energy industry in Ontario. Building on his first public speech as newly appointed Energy Minister during the WWEC2008, the adoption was made less than a year after Minister Smitherman took office.

Bonn/Seoul (WWEA – 5 June 2009) - The first World Wind Energy Conference ever held in Korea is approaching. Speakers from 40 countries will present in more than 130 presentations the latest developments of wind energy. The conference will focus on wind energy utilisation on islands as well as around islands: offshore applications as well as hybrid and stand-alone systems. Both are key technologies for the shift towards a future global energy supply based on 100 % renewable energy.
