EWB Wind Power CoP Launch
Channel: Jon Leary
Date: 30/01/2012

In response to the massive wave of wind turbine building that has swept Engineers Without Borders branches across the UK, we have launched a new CoP (Community of Practice) dedicated to Wind Power. We were privileged enough to hear from the man himself, Hugh Piggott, as well as Aran Eales and Tom Dixon from V3 Power, a renewable energy cooperative specialising in wind turbine and Matt Little, renewable energy expert and a former EWB placement volunteer in the Philippines. The session then moves on to hear the experiences of EWB branch members and finishes in an open discussion with questions to the panel of experts on both the social and technical issues surrounding the technology and covers everything from "what should we do with 1kW of wind power on our university site?" to "what are the biggest barriers preventing the wider adoption of small wind power for rural electrification in other windy areas around the world?"
