Sometimes this is Europe has come a long way in the last decade, due to changing market dynamics. Key individuals but there is a long way to go – and strong from oil giants did not feature as strongly in leadership is vital. a wind list ten years ago as, back then, many wouldn’t give wind a second look. The fact they We hope you enjoy this report, and would like now do is testament to the work that wind’s to thank our readers, our judges and everyone leading people have done over the last decade. who shared their nominations. And frankly, sometimes those changes are driven by changes in our criteria, as we seek to respond to new market dynamics. One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is our commitment to celebrating the most influential people in European wind. You can find out who they are and how we do this in the coming pages. 3 EUROPEAN POWER LIST 2021 How we did it The editorial and content team of A Word About Wind and Energy Storage Report began the process to develop this year’s European Power List in December 2020. The process To maintain the European Power List’s credibility, we followed the below research process. ■ 4th December 2020 ■ 15th February Following the completion of the Green Fund Received feedback from judges Power list, desk-based research for the European Power List began.

    2020 Wind Energy Update By John Benson January 2020 1. Introduction The last papers I published with similar subjects to this one were in August and September of last year (2019). I have listed these below with links and brief descriptions, just in case some readers are looking for specific content that might be covered in one of these. California Offshore Wind: This paper covers early-stage activity on the California coast. https://www.energycentral.com/c/cp/california-offshore-wind Recent Developments in Storage, Wind and PV: This post focused on large PV, wind and storage projects in the U.S. Also, recent news that impacts the cost of battery energy storage systems (BESS), and we started this paper with this subject. https://www.energycentral.com/c/cp/recent-developments-storage-wind-and-pv Off-Shore Wind Update: This two-part series where the first part focused on the positive political moves in many states on the U.S. East Coast, and part 2 focused on off-shore projects in this region, the latest turbine designs. https://www.energycentral.com/c/cp/shore-wind-update-%E2%80%93-part-1 https://www.energycentral.com/c/cp/shore-wind-update-%E2%80%93-part-2 This paper contains several subjects. It starts with some “grand challenges” that wind power will face in the future. Following that we will briefly review technology improvements that have been made to small wind turbines. Finally we will review major projects throughout the world. This paper has gone over my normal 3,000 word limit, but not so much that I would consider splitting it.

  • CODE of GOOD PRACTICE for RENEWABLE ENERGY in ROMANIA 2021 Dear Reader
    CODE OF GOOD PRACTICE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY IN ROMANIA 2021 Dear Reader, Carlo Pignoloni CEO, Enel Romania President of the Board, RWEA You may wonder why the Romanian Wind Energy Association (RWEA) decided to issue a Code of Good Practice for the industry now, in 2021, more than 10 years since the first wind energy projects in the country were commissioned. Wind energy, with more than 3000 MW installed, has become one of the major energy sources in the country and last year accounted for almost 14% of the total energy produced in Romania. While this is a very important share, adding to the sizeable quota of renewable energy generation in Romania, it is quite safe to say that we are far from the country’s potential. RWEA members demonstrated that they came to invest in the country for the long term, supported economic growth and technological advance and are part of the backbone of the energy sector. But there is much more left to be done. At the time when I am writing these lines, several new renewable projects have been announced in Romania by different companies, and the pipeline is expected to grow significantly. This is a welcome development, as Romania’s generation fleet is ageing and needs to be replaced quickly and at optimal costs. The country, its economy and its people need access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy and one cannot overemphasize wind’s importance. This brings me to the purpose of this Code and its timing. In order to make this transition just, we need to think of all stakeholders and improve the quality of life of citizens-customers.

  • M&A Facts – Special Edition Windenergy Hamburg 2020
    M&A Facts – Special Edition WindEnergy Hamburg 2020 Wind Energy Industry M&A-Highlights and Market Insights Data source: S&P Capital IQ, desktop research. Analysis by Proventis Partners. ►This brief study was drafted by Proventis Partners with the aim to provide a high-quality analysis of the wind energy industry with respect to company valuations as well as M&A activities. It includes analyses of respective peer group trading multiples and selected transactions. Wind energy is not a homogeneous industry; business models and profitability levels differ, and consequently so do valuations. This is reflected by our approach to divide the industry in four segments, reflecting individual stages of the wind energy value chain: 1) Wind Turbine Generator (“WTG”) Manufacturers, 2) Wind Turbine Component Suppliers, 3) Wind Park Developers 4) Wind Park Operation, Maintenance and Service Providers. ►Valuations of publicly-listed companies in the WTG manufacturing- and the supplier segment weakened during the first half of 2020, as the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic affected stock market valuations across the globe. Trading multiples of WTG manufacturers were effected stronger than other segments. However, renewable energy generation is one of the few sectors that are widely considered to emerge stronger from the crisis. Historical high valuation levels of >30x TEV/EBITDA for our European peer group of wind park developers seem to confirm this thesis. 1. Global Wind Turbine Generator Manufacturers Peer Group Note: TEV = Total Enterprise Value. LTM = Last Twelve Months. HY = Half-Year. Data source: S&P Capital IQ. In €m. Global WTG Manufacturers segment includes the leading publicly listed manufacturing companies.
