FCT is a member of ERA-NET PLUS NEWA - New European Wind Atlas, a network with 9 partners from 8 countries. NEWA should have a direct impact on the development of new technologies related to wind energy, through the publication of a European Wind Atlas, which it should promote:

  • Reducing the cost of electricity generated from wind sources by mitigating the risks associated with the design and operation of large-scale wind turbines through improved knowledge of wind conditions;
  • A better quantification of the European wind potential, and production of data and models to improve spatial planning tools and operations, promoting efficiency in the implementation of wind farms.
