ANEV – Associazione Nazionale Energia del Vento (National Wind Energy Association), set up in July 2002, brings together around 120 companies representing the national wind energy sector in Italy and abroad, including producers and operators of electricity and technology, plant designers, engineering and environmental studies, electrical traders and developers who operate in compliance with the Association’s rules and regulations.
ANEV is the Italian Association adhering to the corresponding European and World associations such as Wind Europe, WWEA, GWEC.
The Association’s aims include contributing to the promotion and use of wind energy offshore and onshore in a balanced relationship between settlements and nature, as well as promoting research and technological development aimed at the use of wind resources and the rational use of energy, and the dissemination of accurate information based on real data.
ANEV, together with Legambiente, Greenpeace and Kyoto Club, has drawn up and signed a Manifesto for the development of offshore wind energy in Italy, with due regard for environmental and landscape protection, to ensure that the wind energy present in the Italian seas can be exploited to the full, contributing to the decarbonisation of our country and its energy self-sufficiency, while safeguarding economic activities and marine ecosystems.
