NorthWind Research Centre launch

Last updated: 23 March 2022

The Research Council has decided to invest NOK 120 million in a new research centre, the Norwegian Research Centre on Wind Energy (NorthWind) for environmentally friendly energy. The research from the new centre will create export opportunities for Norwegian business and industry and ensure that the environmental impacts from future wind power development are minimized. The Centre will receive NOK 15 million each year over eight years, and can receive in addition funds from the private sector. The center is not a physical location but a consortium composed of multiple collaborating organizations and businesses. This consortium includes over 40 business partners actively engaged in the center’s research, management, and funding, and features a balanced mix of suppliers, energy companies, consulting firms, and cluster/interest groups.
