About WEC

WEC Patron Programme

WEC established its Patrons Programme in 1998 to support its Studies, Technical, and Regional Work Programme. WEC Patrons are companies or institutions which are already members of a WEC Member Committee and which  have made a special one-time contribution to the WEC Foundation to support WEC's Work Programme. . These companies are active members of their home country Member Committee. Through their home Member Committee, they are able to name experts from their company to specific WEC task forces or technical committees, and they are acknowledged on the WEC website and at WEC's triennial World Energy Congress. WEC Patrons do not have any special influence on WEC policy or any direct say in the management or priorities of WEC except insofar as they participate in the activities of the Member Committee in their home country.
