AWWI is thrilled to announce that Siemens, a leading provider of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies, has joined AWWI as a 2016 Friend. The decision by Siemens boosts the AWWI partnership to 22 wind energy leaders and 10 national science and environmental organizations, including the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.
With Siemens joining AWWI, partners and friends include the three top wind turbine manufacturers as measured by cumulative share of the wind turbine fleet (the other two are GE Energy and Vestas).
