Chinese Wind Turbine Manufacturers' Global Expansion: The Dream and The Reality

May 9, 2010

Analysis of:China to lead global wind energy development? | www.renewableenergyfocus.com

China emerged as the largest wind turbine market in 2009, but Chinese wind turbine manufacturers are not content with serving only the domestic market. Many companies (including Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology) aim to grab significant share of international market in the next 3-5 years. They have unique reason and advantages to drive global expansion, and they have made solid progress in certain areas. But in reality they still face lots of problems and challenges.

Strategic Windpower M&A Wide Open

April 21, 2009

Analysis of: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.

Analysis of: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

Analysis of: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.

China's Expands Renewable Energy as Energy Demand Grows

March 30, 2007

Analysis of: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

Analysis of: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.

2. 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

3. 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.

The Unexpected Supply of Silicon Photovoltaics

March 14, 2007

Analysis of:SolarWorld AG to Proceed with 500MW Wafer and Cell Plant in United States | www.solarbuzz.com

·Reports of the death of the silicon-based photovoltaic systems are greatly exaggerated.

·Despite the well-publicized shortage of solar grade silicon, many solar cell and module makers experienced significant growth in 2006.

·Wherever the supplies are coming from, the amounts are a surprise and assumptions regarding future production have to be reevaluated.

Famed Bird Protection Group Endorses Windpower

December 15, 2006

Analysis of:Audubon Society Supports Windpower | www.renewableenergyaccess.com

The exceptionally strong endorsement for windpower by the conservative Audubon Society removes an important though specious argument against windpower.  The industry has been fighting false perceptions about the avian mortality issue for more than two decades.  With this support, the issue can now be laid to rest.

Analysts Misrepresent Renewables

December 14, 2006

Analysis of:The Myth Of Alternative Energy | www.countercurrents.org

The latest two analyses on windpower and renewables are factually wide of the mark, and should be discounted.  Major discrepancies between the "facts" quoted in these two analyses and reality on the ground show that the opposition to renewables is not based upon science, nor on true economics.
