Strategic Windpower M&A Wide Open

April 21, 2009

EDF wind arm sees M&A bonanza in crisis | www.reuters.com

The financial crisis has indeed dampened windpower project finance for the short-term.  Such a situation precipitates strategic opportunities for well-placed players.  This public statement by one of the largest global developers is evidence that the sector may open up with a bang in the near-term.

UN Clean Development Mechanism isn't perfect, but it works

May 27, 2008

Billions wasted on UN climate programme | www.guardian.co.uk

Recent reports provide fuel for the claim that billions of dollars spent subsidising projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries are being 'wasted', because projects would have gone ahead anyway. The underlying facts are essentially correct, but readers should beware drawing hasty conclusions. There are good reasons why some existing projects and projects which are implemented under national emission reduction policies should still get carbon credits.

Loss of wind causes Texas power grid emergency | www.reuters.com

The main component of the Texas problem was the inability of conventional generation to deliver when the wind fell off.  Predictions of future windpower are becoming highly reliable, even up to 30 hours.  The Texas drop off was as predicted, but backup plants failed. Further, the entire US grid has reliability problems completely unrelated to windpower.

What are the implications of the defeat of key renewable energy provisions of the new Energy Bill?

January 2, 2008

Industry Flexes Muscle, Weaker Energy Bill Passes | www.nytimes.com

The US renewable energy industry suffered a body blow on December 14 when the U.S. Senate passed an eviscerated bill after it was stripped of the investment tax credits, production tax credits and a national renewable electricity standard (RES).   The irony was this occurred just as the United Nations Conference on Global Warming was wrapping up, a final agreement on long-term measures to mitigate climate change. The American public continues to express broad support for renewable energy and the key will be what Congress does in 2008 - the key will be the impact this issue has on politicians up for reelection and on the Presidential debate.

EDP’s acquisition of Horizon heats up wind energy’s M&A arena

April 2, 2007

Portugal's EDP to buy U.S. Horizon Wind Energy | today.reuters.com

With the global trend towards renewable energy, mergers and acquisitions have been significant in the wind turbine manufacturer arena, with the recent example the bidding war between AREVA and Suzlon Energy for REpower. But the M&A arena in wind energy is now extending beyond turbine manufacturers to project developers, as Energias de Portugal’s (EDP) acquisition of Horizon Energy demonstrates.

China's Expands Renewable Energy as Energy Demand Grows

March 30, 2007

China likely to overtake US as biggest carbon emitter this year | www.dailytimes.com.pk

  1. China’s position as the world’s largest investor in renewable energy is likely to strengthen.
  2. One of the key sources of renewable energy for China is wind energy.
  3. The central area for wind energy development is Inner Mongolia, where a majority of China’s energy resources are found, principally coal.
  4. China’s ambitious renewable energy goals will have wide ranging impacts.

The growing role for the US in the Carbon Market

March 30, 2007

Carbon market to grow 50% in 2007 | www.wbcsd.org

  1. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) have created major markets for trading carbon credits and encouraged internal abatement programs as well as renewable energy projects.
  1. A majority of carbon trading in the EU focuses on carbon remediation through internal abatement methods while a majority in the Kyoto Protocol focuses renewable energy development
  1. The US market is on the verge of creating a carbon trading market that could both encourage reductions in carbon production, remediation measures as well as be a major driving force for renewable energy.

Siemens Offshore Wind Farm Projects a Sign of Things to Come

March 28, 2007

Siemens wins wind power deal | www.fin24.co.za

Siemens recent commitment to build two offshore wind parks in Britain reinforces that the German engineering company wants to be a part of the offshore sector of the wind industry. The offshore sector has not been completely successful, and many companies have either pulled out of projects or seen overruns in costs. But as demand for alternative energy escalates, and as onshore wind sites become more constrained in Northern Europe, the demand for offshore wind should grow.

Big Oil investments into wind energy point to maturity of industry

March 28, 2007

Two oil giants plunge into the wind business | www.boston.com

Oil companies BP and Shell both recently announced investments in the wind energy sector. The investments are more than a public relations ploy and show that the wind industry has come of age and is now perceived by the traditional energy sector as a viable investment opportunity. One interesting observation on BP and Shell’s wind energy investment is that they have taken different strategies, with Shell moving toward the offshore and European markets and BP focusing on the onshore market in the US.
