We are in times of collective actions based on solidarity, from Wind Empowerment we contribute with many blows of wind from all over the world.

We know that behind your story there is a day to day form of action sustained over time, a lot of work and creativity, empowered people, beautiful places with a lot of good energy.

That’s why we Invite You to tell your story to the world. WIND STORIES is proposed as a place to tell the stories of our members, in the different experiences and projects with the piggott wind turbine and social technologies around the world.
