European Wind Energy Market - Investment Analysis
Frost & Sullivan, July 2010, Pages: 74
Among the entire gamut of renewables, wind energy is the most mature source. It dates back to several centuries unlike the other renewables such as solar, biomass and geothermal energies, which have evolved only in the past few decades. Unlike the other renewables, which are still in their early stages of development and require large capital outlays and promise high returns, wind has surpassed this stage making it a more consistent and sustainable investment. Returns are clearly defined and fluctuations are restricted to the bare minimum.
Although different electricity generating technologies were invented, there has always been a time-gap between the evolution and its large-scale deployment. Most of the conventional technologies were discovered and implemented by the 1950s, hydro being the only exception. Though hydro and wind energy were discovered early, wind took time to commercialize as the technology was not equipped to handle the intermittency.
Towards the end of 20th century, the oil crisis coupled with environmental issues led to the need for alternative energy sources. In the early 21st century, many renewable technologies were considered and evaluated. Wind energy, though one of the oldest and mature among renewable technologies, contributed significantly to electricity generation only in the 21st century.
