Industry Primer: Wind Energy 2010
IndustryPrimers.com, Jan 2011, Pages: 122
This comprehensive primer on the wind industry covers the entire wind value chain, from components manufacturers to wind farm owner/operators. The 122-page report is intended to help institutional investors, lenders and private equity professionals quickly get up to speed on the key issues relevant to investing in the wind energy sector.
The report includes a brief history of wind turbines, a description of how wind turbines work, and a detailed explanation of the core parts and components made by wind turbine companies. We distinguish between small wind turbines primarily meant for individual use, and large-scale turbines used in wind farms; between different end markets (residential, farming, off-grid/remote, and wind farms); and between onshore and offshore markets.
In the report, we create a detailed estimate of the total size of the wind energy market at various points along the value chain. Our sizing analysis shows industry breakout by product type, geographic regions and end market. In addition, we provide estimates of units and capacity installed annually, cumulative capacity and dollar-value market size. The report includes historical and projected growth estimates for each sub-segment of the industry, as well as fragmentation and market share data that helps investors gauge the degree of competition and availability of investment opportunities in different parts of the industry.
The report’s strategy section describes and analyzes the key themes most relevant to investors in the wind energy industry, including but not limited to:
- Trends in the broader renewable energy sector
- The regulatory landscape in the U.S. and abroad
- The effect of the recent credit crisis on the industry
