Tomorrow the worldwide wind energy community will celebrate Global Wind Day. The event inaugurated as Wind Day in 2007 initially reached 18 countries in Europe, with a participation of around 35,000 people. The main idea behind this celebration was to coordinate events organised by wind energy associations and companies active in the wind energy field in Europe. Today Global Wind Day is a worldwide event held each year on June 15. It is organised by WindEurope and the Global Wind Energy Council.

At BalticWind.EU we also plan to join the celebrations by sharing important news related to our future development plans. But before tomorrow comes, we would like to invite you to enjoy our review of the most interesting initiatives, that were part of the Global Wind Day campaign in previous years.

  • The international photo competition “Future Wind“. The competition received over 600 photos from more than 50 countries in 2019.
  • In 2019 Polish Wind Energy Association organised a charity run “Run Like The Wind”. The money raised was donated to “Podaruj Oddech” (“The Gift of Breath”) Foundation, helping people with cystic fibrosis.

Global Wind Day is an excellent example of how an industry can build a strong and well-heard communication channel reaching a wide audience with a worldwide campaign. We are curious to see what tomorrow will bring, but we are sure that the creativity of the wind energy industry will not disappoint this year either.We will certainly be covering the day’s events and announcements on BalticWind.EU
