The Polish Wind Energy Association

What The Polish Wind Energy Association does

Polskie Stowarzyszenie Energetyki Wiatrowej (PSEW), operating in English as the Polish Wind Energy Association, is a non-governmental industry association founded in 1999 and headquartered in Szczecin with a Warsaw office. Originally established as Towarzystwo Wspierania Elektrowni Wiatrowych VIS VENTI, it is the largest organization in Poland representing entities interested in wind energy investments, with 70+ corporate members spanning investors, developers, turbine manufacturers (Vestas, Siemens Gamesa), component suppliers, and major utilities and offshore developers (PGE, Polenergia, Equinor, Ørsted, RWE, ENGIE, PKN Orlen, ACCIONA). PSEW's mission is to shape a favorable legal environment for wind energy development in Poland and to educate the public to increase social acceptance for wind investments.

PSEW generates revenue through three streams: annual corporate membership fees, paid participation in industry conferences and training sessions (with preferential rates for members), and sales of publications such as the annual Wind Energy in Poland report, supply chain analyses, and policy guides. Its core products are not technology-based but rather event- and knowledge-based: three flagship annual conferences (Offshore Wind Poland, RE-Source Poland, and the XXII Forum Energetyki Wiatrowej), research publications, position papers, and member training programs. The association has played a central advocacy role in the 2021 Offshore Wind Act, which underpins a PLN 130 billion investment program targeting up to 28 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050, and maintains working relationships with EU Directorates-General (Energy, Environment, Research), Polish ministries, parliamentary groups, and international partners including WindEurope.

The association is governed by a Management Board chaired by Janusz Gajowiecki (President), with four Vice-Presidents and a Steering Committee chaired by Lech Kuleszyński. It operates with 28 employees and GDPR-compliant data processing. PSEW's distribution model is direct enterprise membership engagement, supplemented by event-driven and content-driven marketing (LinkedIn, YouTube via PSEW TV, Facebook, Twitter, and earned media). Its value proposition rests on regulatory influence, networking across the full wind value chain, market intelligence, and social acceptance advocacy rather than on proprietary technology.

Core offering

The Polish Wind Energy Association (PSEW) is a non-governmental industry association that represents investors, developers, turbine manufacturers, and sub-suppliers in Poland's wind energy sector. It delivers value through a corporate membership program, three flagship annual conferences (Offshore Wind Poland, RE-Source Poland, and the Forum Energetyki Wiatrowej), and a suite of research publications and policy guides, combined with regulatory advocacy at Polish and EU levels.

Product overview

The Polish Wind Energy Association (PSEW/PWEA) is a non-governmental industry organization rather than a product company. Its offerings consist of industry events, research publications, and membership services. The core events include three major annual conferences: Offshore Wind Poland (offshore-focused), RE-Source Poland (renewable sourcing/PPAs), and Forum Energetyki Wiatrowej (onshore wind). Research publications include annual Wind Energy in Poland reports, supply chain analyses, and policy guides. The association also provides membership services for industry participants seeking networking and policy influence opportunities.

Direct peers

• WindEurope: Brussels-based pan-European wind energy trade association. It is the direct counterpart to PSEW at the EU level and is explicitly listed as a core strategic partner; both serve the same multinational wind majors (Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, Ørsted, Equinor, RWE, ENGIE).
• Danish Wind Industry Association: Denmark's national wind energy association and a recognized partner of PSEW (joint study visits to Anholt Wind Farm). Similar membership/trade-association model in the country with the longest offshore wind track record.
• Norwegian Wind Energy Association (NORWEA): Norway's national wind industry association. Comparable structure (membership-based, advocacy-led) and overlapping Scandinavian/Baltic offshore wind developer membership with PSEW.
• Bundesverband WindEnergie (BWE): Germany's national wind energy industry association, with the largest installed base in the EU. Directly comparable to PSEW in structure: membership-based trade association representing developers, OEMs, and component suppliers and advocating for wind policy in Berlin and Brussels.
• RenewableUK: UK trade association for wind, wave, and tidal energy. Closely analogous to PSEW in mission and operating model, with a national advocacy remit, member conferences, and a flagship 'Financing and Investment' style event series.
• Polish Offshore Wind Energy Society (POWES): Domestic Polish counterpart and explicit partner of PSEW focused specifically on offshore wind development. Co-organises the Pomeranian Offshore Wind Conference and adjacent advocacy, making it the closest sub-sectoral peer.
• Swedish Wind Energy Association (SWEA): Sweden's national wind energy trade body. Closely mirrors PSEW's mandate of policy advocacy, member events, and industry publications in a neighbouring Nordic-Baltic market.

Regional players

• Asociación Empresarial Eólica (AEE): Spain's national wind energy trade association. Similar market-development and policy-advocacy role but operating in a more mature onshore market and a different Mediterranean regulatory environment.
• China Wind Energy Association (CWEA): National wind industry association in the world's largest wind market. Shares the trade-association model with PSEW but operates at very different scale and within a distinct state-led policy environment.
• American Clean Power Association: Largest US trade association for wind, offshore wind, and other clean energy. Comparable in mission (advocacy + convening + market data) but operates in a different regulatory and market environment.
