[email protected] 3 China Wind Power 4 April 2011 Executive summary China faces decelerating growth in wind power capacity In 2010, China overtook the US to become the country with the largest cumulative wind power capacity globally. Wind installation had an impressive 120% CAGR in 2006-2009. But 2010 represented a major stumbling block for wind installation, when annual installation growth slowed significantly to 37% YoY due mainly to a grid connection bottlenecks in the shape of a lack of physical grid connections and power curtailment. As we do not expect the grid connection problems to be resolved any time soon, we project annual wind installation growth could slow to a paltry 3% YoY for both 2011F and 2012F. Over the five-year period from 2010 to 2015F, we forecast that annual wind installation in China will grow at a CAGR of 1% with cumulative wind installation at a CAGR of 26%. Although our forecasts have factored in drastic growth deceleration for wind power in China going forward, our estimate for wind power capacity, both onshore and offshore, of 245GW by end-2020F is much higher than the government’s target of 150GW, which we believe to be far too conservative. In our view, there is a mismatch in China’s targets for renewable energy capacity and renewable energy consumption. To achieve its goal of having 15% energy consumption from renewable energy sources by 2020F, China needs to take a much more aggressive renewable capacity installation target, in our opinion. Moreover, we believe wind power could be the beneficiary if the Chinese government decides to adopt a more cautious stance on nuclear power development post the nuclear crisis in Fukujima, Japan, earlier this year. Grid-related problems remain a serious challenge We found two types of grid-related problems within the Chinese wind power industry: (1) installed wind capacity lacking physical grid connections; and (2) wind power curtailment. These problems will reduce the profitability of wind farm operators as they either let wind capacity idle, lower effective capacity utilization hours of wind farms or cap capacity growth potential of wind farm operators. Based on our estimates, 30% of installed wind capacity will not be connected to the grid by end-2011. Moreover, according to data from China Electricity Council (CEC), approximately 11% of wind power generated in China was not procured by grid operators in 1H10. While the central government has been grappling with such issues since 2009 and is expected to adopt measures to improve grid connection and wind power generation conditions, we only expect grid-related problems to be resolved gradually over the next three-to-five years. 4 China Wind Power 4 April 2011 CDM income uncertainty remains an overhang up to 2012F In addition to wind power tariffs, wind farm operators in China

  • Supply Chain for Round 3
    Offshore Wind UK Market Study 2011 A common initiative with Preface Strong Norwegian competence lies within the offshore sector and stems from more than 100 years of maritime shipping and North Sea oil and gas activities. The fine-tuned capabilities are now transferred to the offshore wind sector for technology and services conceptualisation. Companies developing the North Sea wind resources could benefit from the lessons learned in Norway and add complementary expertise in order to achieve their targets. In order to inform the Norwegian offshore industry participants about the opportunities in the two most important markets for offshore wind competence, Innovation Norway and INTPOW – Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners have collaborated to commission two studies - Offshore Wind Germany and Offshore Wind UK, both inspired by the two Norwegian Offshore Wind Clusters Arena NOWand Windcluster Mid-Norway. In order to promote the Norwegian offshore wind capabilities, Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners – INTPOW and Innovation Norway have also commissioned a market Study and mapping of the emerging Norwegian offshore wind supply chain.

    COMMUNITY INVESTMENT REVIEW 2019/20 FOREWORD || CONTENTS FOREWORD 2019/20 has been an extraordinary year for SSE Renewables. We started construction on two new ground-breaking offshore wind farms – Dogger Bank, which will be the world’s largest wind farm once complete, and Seagreen, which will be Scotland’s largest. In January 2020 we greenlighted a first subsidy-free onshore wind farm in Scotland, an extension to the existing Gordonbush wind farm in Foreword 01 Funder’s Report 02 Regional Funds 06 Sutherland. Advancing these wind farms, and others in the development pipeline, are a critical part of the response to the climate emergency. Together, they will make a significant contribution to meeting the UK’s ambitious net zero carbon targets whilst making a positive economic contribution in their local areas.
