Wind Energy - The Facts (WindFacts) is a project financed by the Intelligent Energy - Europe programme of the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation that runs from November 2007 to October 2009.

WindFacts aims at answering new questions and challenges that have emerged in relation to wind energy by creating an exhaustive publication and a regularly updated website.

The project lasts for two years. The first year will be dedicated to the production of the publication and website.

The major chapters of Wind Energy - The Facts will include:

• wind energy technology
• grid integration
• the economics of wind
• industry and markets
• environmental impacts
• scenarios and targets.

These will be prepared by a consortium of leading experts from different sectors all over Europe.

The second year of the project will be dedicated to the updates on the website and to the organisation of a dissemination campaign through 5 workshops in France, Hungary, Latvia, Romania and Sweden.

Wind Energy - The Facts is implemented by a consortium led by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA). The website will be available in the autumn of 2008 on this page. The publication is expected to be ready early 2009.
