About GWO
GWO is non-profit industry association representing leading wind turbine manufacturers and renewable energy operators
.avif)
GWO standards are created by the industry, for the industry. Our members are globally leading wind turbine manufacturers, and renewable energy operators representing a majority of installed wind energy capacity around the world. Together, they collaborate to create training standards that support workforce development and enable a safer energy transition.
Eight out of ten members agree GWO has raised safety training standards across the industry
GWO technicians are available for up to 6 days more each year than staff trained outside the GWO framework agreement
¾ of GWO members have standardised 30% or more of their entry level training
More than 500 training providers are certified to deliver GWO training in over 50 countries
GWO has become a contractual expectation up and down the supply chain
The demand for wind energy continues to grow at a steady pace. By 2028, the world will need over 532,000 technicians to build and maintain wind fleets, both onshore and offshore. Notably, 40% of these roles will need to be filled by new entrants
Brazilian Association of Wind Energy and New Technologies, ABEEólica, has signed an MOU in strategic partnership with training standards body GWO. Tried and tested collaboration will provide certainty for all stakeholders, aligning Brazil’s safety regulations with globally recognised standards.
GWO and IRENA will initiate discussions of how global standards can best support skilled workforce development, in line with 2030 targets. Co-publication of the Jobs4RE Workforce Training Guidelines for the Wind Industry is set to follow in 2025.
The next generation of wind turbine technicians have a new training pathway to follow, courtesy of guidelines presented today by the Japan Wind Power Association working with GWO.
This GWO Positioning Paper provides an introduction to the key ambitions and terms of reference for a proposed expansion in opportunities to use a merit approach to safety & technical training in the wind industry
Global Wind Organisation (GWO) is pleased to announce Pattern Energy as its newest Leading Member. Pattern Energy has 29GW worth of global development and active construction projects under way, as well as 750+ commercial solar projects completed through its affiliates.
