Using Policy, Collaboration and Investment to empower Asia's Wind Future


Our Mission
GWEC Asia is building a unified and strong alliance of local industry players, advocating for the benefits of wind power through strategic dialogue with governments and key stakeholders. By communicating the socio-economic benefits of wind energy, the Asia team works to raise government awareness of policy needs in both onshore and offshore sectors, while also collaborating with agencies to strengthen local capacity and create an enabling environment for a thriving regional wind industry.
GWEC Asia's role as a credible advocacy and research body for the regions wind sector, ensures a cohesive voice across the region. This unified approach creates transparent, efficient channels for policymakers to engage with the wind industry, helping to connect policy decisions with market realities.
By focusing resources on high-potential markets and engaging stakeholders across the private sector, GWEC Asia will accelerate the large-scale deployment of wind power and build a robust foundation for sector growth, ultimately creating the conditions for significant investment and long-term sustainability.

Objectives
GWEC Asia provides stronger representation of the entire wind industry to resolve current market challenges and deliver government wind energy targets.
- Build a Unified Industry Alliance: Strengthen collaboration among local industry players to form a cohesive and powerful alliance advocating for wind power benefits across the region.
- Advocate for Policy Support: Engage in strategic dialogue with governments and key stakeholders to raise awareness of the policy needs for both onshore and offshore wind sectors.

How Offshore Wind Development Can Support Coastal Regeneration: Global Overview and Best Practices For South Korea 2024
This report sets out the core economic and wider social and environmental benefits of offshore wind development and discusses how these benefits could be leveraged in order to achieve coastal regeneration. The report also highlights the potential economic impacts of offshore wind development in South Korea, using an input-output (IO) analysis to estimate the expected value-added and employment for the construction of 14.3 GW of OFW planned for 2030.

이 보고서는 해상풍력 개발의 핵심적인 경제적 이점과 광범위한 사회 및 환경적 이점을 제시하고, 연안 지역을 재생하기 위해 해상풍력 개발의 이점을 활용할 수 있는 방안에 대해 논의한다. 또한 2030년까지 계획된 14.3GW의 해상풍력 건설에 따른 예상 부가가치 및 고용을 추정하기 위해 산업연관(IO) 분석을 사용하여 한국 해상풍력 개발의 잠재적인 경제적 영향을 강조한다.
Exploring Coexistence Opportunities For Offshore Wind and Fisheries in South Korea: Global Overview and Best Practices for South Korea 2024
The South Korean Government has set a target of reaching 14.3 GW of OFW before 2030, and as of 2023, the country has 140 MW of installed capacity across six wind farms. Despite this ambitious target, commercial development is experiencing delays, due, in part, to opposition from the commercial fishing sector.
The fishing industry is concerned about the potential impacts of OFW development on livelihoods and economic viability. Perceived issues such as displacement from fishing grounds and potential changes in fish population distribution from OFW development increase the uncertainty facing fisheries.

Japan's Offshore Wind Market Cost Reduction Study to 2050 (2021)
In October 2020, Japan announced the country’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to realise this goal, the government has committed to fundamental review of its policy on the use of coal-fired power plants, and the construction of nuclear power plants is not supported by Japan’s citizens. Therefore, offshore wind power will need to play a key role in Japan’s energy future and on the country’s path to achieving net zero.
