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. The NWCC is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind and Water Technologies Program.

Sandia National Laboratories: Wind Power Technologies — Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) conducts applied research to increase the viability of wind technology by improving wind turbine performance, reliability, and reducing the cost of energy. Sandia specializes in all aspects of wind-turbine blade design, manufacturing, and system reliability. By partnering with universities and industry, Sandia works to advance the state of knowledge in the areas of materials, structurally efficient airfoil designs, active-flow aerodynamic control, and sensors.
The mission of the wind energy research conducted at NREL's National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) is to collaborate with industry to further wind technology and to accelerate its commercialization in the marketplace.

Texas Wind Energy Clearinghouse – The Texas Wind Energy Clearinghouse is a membership organization representing the diverse range of stakeholders in the world's most intensive wind energy development state. The Clearinghouse serves as an information exchange for landowner issues, industrial development, workforce recruitment & skills development, community economic development, wind energy operations recruitment & enhancement, and many other topics. Our services include conferences, newsletters, networking forums, town hall meetings, industrial recruitment, national & international representation of Texas at major wind energy events, advisory services in curriculum development, and many other services.
Lower Colorado River Authority since 1995, LCRA has generated wind power at the Texas Wind Power Project in Culberson County, about 100 miles east of El Paso.
Window on State Government – Wind energy is among the world's fastest-growing sources of energy. During the last decade, wind energy growth rates worldwide averaged about 30 percent annually. In the last three years, the U.S. and Texas wind energy markets also have experienced a rapid expansion of capacity. In 2007, for example, U.S. wind power capacity grew by 43 percent, while Texas' rose by 57 percent.
BP Wind Energy has begun construction of the Sherbino 2 Wind Farm in the US state of Texas, which will have a generating capacity of 150MW. The wind farm is located in Pecos County, about 40 miles east of Fort Stockton in west Texas. It will expand across 20,000 acres and generate enough electricity to power 45,000 average homes – April 6, 2011
Texas Christian University (TCU), in partnership with University of Oxford and NextEra Energy (formerly known as FPL Energy), will spend the next five years researching key environmental and social issues related to wind power. The project objective is to assess the broad scale ecological and socio-economic impacts of wind development, including evaluation of the coexistence of wind power with thriving bird and bat populations, ecological footprints of wind, farms, carbon offset analysis, and benefits of wind farms to ecosystem health and local communities.
The Curious Case of the Texas Wind Industry – by 2010 Texas had become the undisputed leader of wind energy in the United States, a fact that flies in the face of conventional logic. How is a state steeped in oil and gas, and run by climate-change denying politicians, spearheading some of the largest renewable energy developments in the US?
