The Renewables Landscape: Wind at the Threshold
Datamonitor, April 2008, Pages: 21
Introduction
Utility companies have largely fallen behind the curve on renewable generation and are now increasingly applying global strategies to leverage major renewable growth opportunities at a time of record valuations in the sector. The Renewables Landscape - Wind at the Threshold is a report that analyses the current wind power generation landscape across key European and world markets.
Scope
Data concerning the uptake of the five main renewable technologies, the development of wind capacities/generation/load factors, and leading countries
Awareness of the wind asset ownership competitive landscape and the reasons why large asset owners are increasingly integrating along the value chain
Knowledge of the various support policies and national renewables targets and how recent proposals might undermine existing local support schemes
Insight as to why utilities have fallen behind the curve on renewable generation and how they have recently scaled their wind portfolios through M&A
Report Highlights
The renewable energy industry is growing rapidly on the back of technological advancements, political will and subsidies, with the majority of new capacity now coming from outside of Europe. Crucially, record investment and growth has been underpinned by extremely consistent and predictable, albeit low, wind turbine power generation performances.
Utilities’ wind asset ownership remains a modest part of their overall mix whereas institutional investors and IPPs own a significant share of the worlds wind assets. Heightened M&A activity and organic new build is keeping EU wind energy ownership in a state of flux at a time when the industry is restructuring to overcome significant challenges.
Policies have had a major impact on the speed and extent of renewable energy development, despite many design and implementation problems. Of particular importance is the proposed 2020 EC ‘target-and-trade’ system which intends to support renewable power in the EU but which could instead undermine existing European wind power installations.
