WIS – Wind Industry Standardization

What is Wind Industry Standardization (WIS)?

Wind Industry Standardization is an industry-led collaboration focused on developing common standards for tools and equipment used across the wind industry. The goal is to streamline processes, reduce costs, and support the scalability of offshore wind.

Funded by the industry itself, with Siemens Gamesa and Vestas as sponsors, and supported by a broad range of contributors, the initiative is facilitated by Energy Cluster Denmark to ensure strong industry alignment and practical implementation.

All industry stakeholders are welcome to join the collaboration and contribute with ideas for new standardization projects. Current efforts include standardization of tower transport, seafastening, and pre-assembly structures.

Why WIS?

Standardization across wind industry projects and Wind Turbine Manufacturers can accelerate the green transition and support both Denmark’s and the EU’s ambitions for offshore wind expansion.

By developing common designs and interfaces as well as a unified interpretation of industry standards, suppliers can adopt standardized solutions. This will make wind energy more cost-effective, accellerate deployment and ultimately lower energy costs for consumers.
