Abstract This report presents key technology, market and economic aspects of wind energy in Europe and beyond. During 2014 the wind energy sector saw a new record in actual installations in a context of healthy manufacturer balance sheet and downward trend in prices. The global market reached 52.8 GW of installed capacity in 2014 of which 2.7 GW offshore, whereas in Europe 11.8 GW were installed. Global cumulative installed capacity reached 370 GW at the end of 2014 and in Europe 130 GW. The installed capacity at the end of 2014 in the EU produces 265 TWh of electricity in an average year. From a technology point of view in 2014 larger turbines were sold and in particular those with larger rotors relative to their electricity generator, designed for sites with lower wind resources. In 2014 both turbine and project prices onshore dropped. Energy costs (levelised cost of energy, LCoE) for projects with final investment decision in 2016/7 are estimated between EUR 90 and 150 per MWh, with main influences being water depth and whether offshore substation and connection to the onshore grid costs are included or not. Onshore, recent research suggest European LCoE in 2012 between EUR 45 (Denmark) and EUR 97 (Germany, low wind area) per MWh, with a clear trend to lower prices. Recent turbine prices are estimated to vary from EUR 770 to 880 per kW.

  • Press Conference Call Speech of Markus Krebber
    Report on the interim report on the first half of 2020 Press conference call Essen, 13 August 2020, 11:30 a.m. CEST Speech by Markus Krebber, CFO of RWE AG Check versus delivery! Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to welcome you all to our press conference on the results for the first half of this year. The coronavirus continues to cast a shadow over the global economy. There’s hardly anyone who is not affected by this and the virus will continue to present challenges for all of us. Consequently, RWE continues to put great emphasis on the health of its employees. Our top priority is still to ensure that social distancing and hygiene measures are strictly adhered to. My very special thanks go to our employees, as they are doing a great job under these difficult circumstances. Fortunately, the effects of Corona on our operating business have so far been limited: Some of our construction projects in the field of renewables have been delayed, especially in the USA. By year-end, we will be commissioning wind and solar farms with a total capacity of around 1.3 gigawatts, which is less than we had planned. As a result of the coronavirus, the commissioning of some new assets will be postponed until early next year. 1 Ladies and gentlemen, So far, RWE has weathered these challenging times well. This is reflected by the developments in the first six months and underpinned by the following points: 1. Business performance was good, as RWE posted for the first half adjusted EBITDA of 1.8 billion euros, representing an increase of some 18%.

    Invest in Renewable Energies – East Africa (Frankfurt - Sept 07) WINDPLAN Bosse GmbH Experience since the First Hour of Wind Energy source: WINDPLAN Bosse Company Profile (short version) status: 04 September 2007 - 1 - Invest in Renewable Energies – East Africa (Frankfurt - Sept 07) Short History Since the early beginnings in 1985 developments in WindPower in Germany are connected with the name of the founder of WINDPLAN Bosse, Dipl. Ing. Peter Bosse, who then planned and erected one of the first wind power plants in Germany. After establishing the German WindPower company SUEDWIND the name Bosse remained a well known trade mark in mechanical engineering and technical expertise in the wind power technology and in the planning of numerous windparks on behalf of various clients. At the time SUEDWIND went to NORDEX the decision was made to concentrate the collected knowledge in the field of services for WindPower developers and investors. Together with the experienced planner and civil engineer, Dipl. Ing. Harald Bosse, WINDPLAN Bosse started its successful path as Consultant in WindPower Planning and Engineering in 1999. The combination of technical expertise in WindPower mechanical and civil engineering with the knowledge of in national and international project development proved to be the right concept. Well known windturbine producers like NORDEX, GE WindEnergy and REpower were among the clients of WINDPLAN Bosse. A great number of project developments and realizations ranging from single wind power plants to medium sized windparks could be realized. WINDPLAN Bosse is proud to be one of the first consultants to the still young sector of offshore wind energy.
