Miguel Ferreira is proud of the recognition and states that “it is a pleasure to be part of TPWind and cooperate with such valuable partners in the definition of the industry perspectives for the next years. It was interesting to participate in the vision definition and now it will be very good to get back to a more technical working group, discussing all the relevant topics related to MEGAJOULE’s core activity, wind resource assessment”.

The European Technology Platform for Wind Energy (TPWind) is a forum for the crystallisation of policy and technology research and development pathways for the wind energy sector. The Platform started its activities in 2006 and its first main task was the development of the Strategic Research Agenda & Market Deployment Strategy, which was published in July 2008.

TPWind was then the industry voice in defining with the European Union the European Wind Initiative
The implementation of the European Wind Initiative is one of the main tasks for TPWind in the next 3 years.
