National Advisory Committee

Calling themselves ‘The Energizers’, this group of Dutch wind energy professionals provided invaluable advice to EWEA regarding the conference programme content and format. A special thanks goes to Jan van der Tempel, who proposed numerous innovations and dedicated a large amount of time and energy to assist with the development of the programme.
