Welcome to NWCC

The National Wind Coordinating Collaborative (NWCC) provides a neutral forum for a wide range of stakeholders to pursue the shared objective of developing environmentally, economically, and politically sustainable commercial markets for wind power in the United States. Formed in 1994, this partnership of experts and interested parties identifies issues that affect the use of wind power. By establishing dialogue on key and current topics and catalyzing activities that build consensus among its stakeholders, the NWCC has successfully addressed critical challenges in the areas of transmission, wildlife and habitat impacts, siting, power markets, and other aspects of wind development.

Facilitation and administrative support for the NWCC is provided by RESOLVE, a non-profit collaboration organization, in partnership with Kearns and West's specialists in collaborative facilitation and communication. The NWCC is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind and Water Technologies Program.
