Short summary

WeDoWind is an open innovation ecosystem for enabling data sharing and alignment in the wind energy sector. In this work, a feasibility study of WeDoWind is presented, considering different technical, economic, legal, operational and scheduling aspects. The results showed strong governance, clear regulation, and promising scalability potential, but further progress is required to make it financially sustainable and to ensure adoption of the results in the sector.
