Madrid, 2025.05.13.- MEASNET announces the election of its Executive Board during their yearly Council of Members meeting, held last April in Madrid (Spain.) This body has endorsed once again the former Executive Board, with Monika Krämer as Chairwoman, Alejandro Martínez as Vice Chairman, and Íñigo López as Treasurer.

This management team brings a wealth of experience to the leadership of MEASNET (International Network of Wind Energy Measurement Institutes), since they have served on the Executive Board for several terms.

Over the next two years, they will lead the organization towards the internal transformations required to adapt to the future challenges of the wind energy sector.

The elected MEASNET Chairwoman, Monika Krämer, stated: “We are honoured to again deserve the members’ trust to continue working in this exciting collaborative environment. MEASNET is a long-term project, so it is very valuable for the Executive Board to have the chance to put our ideas into practice and complete our open projects.”

“We are fully committed to empowering the organization to continue to be a relevant player in the wind energy industry”, she added.

The Council of Members Meeting is the yearly forum to make decisions on the operational functioning of the organisation and its future strategies. As MEASNET is the official IECRE provider for Proficiency Tests in the wind industry worldwide, the outcome of these technical evaluations —with 90 participants since its inception, in 2020— was also assessed during this working session.
