The outlook for the wind industry is exciting as New Zealand transitions to a low-emissions economy with renewable electricity. Join the New Zealand Wind Energy Association and be part of our growing industry. The benefits you receive as a member are many and vary depending on your membership level.
Corporate Membership
Corporate membership is for organisations where wind is a core activity. Turbine manufacturers and large generators are expected to become corporate members.
Corporate membership enables these organisations to participate in the industry at a strategic level, helping to shape the NZ wind industry’s future.
Corporate membership fees are $6,250 +gst ($7,187.50)
Associate Membership
Associate membership is for organisations that have wind as one part of their activities. It is also for small companies (less than 5 staff) that focus on the wind sector, and international companies with a very small regional presence (1-2 people).
Associate membership provides opportunities to actively participate in NZ's wind industry, including business development and networking.
Associate membership fees are $1,825 +gst ($2,098.75)
A reduction in the membership fee of 50% is available to not-for-profit organisations, territorial authorities and regional councils in recognition of their status and business objectives.
Individual Membership
Individual membership is for people who are not connected to a commercial company. It enables academics and representatives of community groups to learn about the wind industry and support its development.
Individual membership fees are $157.50 +gst ($181.12)
