Despite the economic and ecological advantages, so far even good wind resources have not been used to the desirable extent. GTZ’s approach therefore addresses the following points:

• Performing surveys and measurements to determine the degree of wind potential
• Elaboration and improvement of conditions for feeding wind-generated electricity into power grids
• Creation and consolidation of energy-sector framework conditions for renewable energy resources
• Furthering knowledge among experts and managers in private and state-owned institutions to assess the wind energy potential, to plan wind energy projects and to improve the energy policy framework for renewable energies

In short: often in partner countries there is a lack of the specialised knowledge needed to take advantage of unused wind potential. Closing this knowledge gap, initiating wind farm projects together with the partner countries and developing or improving the framework conditions are the aims of the TERNA programme.
