The 2027 Southeast Onshore Wind Summit, hosted by the Southeastern Wind Coalition (SEWC), brings together developers, utilities, and other stakeholders for a collaborative forum focused on education, information sharing, and networking. With electricity demand growing rapidly, SEWC is committed to building a prosperous and resilient Southeast through wind energy development. The Summit will equip industry leaders and partners with practical tools to overcome regional development barriers, explore meaningful solutions, and share lessons learned.
-
Across two half-days of programming, you’ll hear directly from the people shaping onshore wind in the Southeast — and leave with the insights and relationships to move your work forward.
Sessions will include:Real-world insights from utility leaders, developers, technology providers, and policy experts
Deep dives into policy, market expansion, transmission, and the evolving role of wind in IRPs
Candid conversations on procurement, siting, community engagement, and lessons learned from recent projects — what’s working and what’s not
Opportunities to connect with peers, partners, and key leaders from across the industry
Practical tools, fresh contacts, and clear next steps for your work in the region
What you’ll take away:
A stronger network: Connect directly with utilities, developers, and other stakeholders committed to charting a path forward for onshore wind.
A clearer value proposition: See how technological advancements and market dynamics make wind a cost-competitive, comparatively fast-to-market resource that complements other power generation to meet soaring power demand.
A framework for community support: Gain lessons learned and actionable frameworks for communicating about the local benefits of wind projects, conducting effective community outreach and building coalitions of support for wind energy development.
