"20-20-20" targets bind EU countries to produce 20% of <strong>the</strong>ir power<br />

IMPACT ON UTILITIES<br />
1) Utilities in East European countries are exempted and will get 70% of <strong>the</strong>ir required certificates for free after 2013 until 2020<br />
2) Emissions Trading Scheme<br />
> Utilities are responsible for around ¾ of CO 2<br />
emissions of all branches of industry<br />
> Utilities will be allowed to emit only as much CO 2<br />
as <strong>the</strong>y have emissions allowances (certificates)<br />
> <strong>From</strong> 2013 on utilities will have to buy 100% of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir certificates 1) in auctions and may trade<br />
<strong>the</strong>m afterwards (EU ETS 2) )<br />
> By 2020 <strong>the</strong> total number of available certificates<br />
will be reduced by 21%<br />
> A considerable number of coal-fired power plants<br />
will have to be substituted – wind is <strong>the</strong> most<br />
mature renewable source to fill <strong>the</strong> supply gap<br />
and to reach <strong>the</strong> national quotas of renewable<br />
energy<br />

> Ambitious 120 GW target promoted in <strong>the</strong> "Wind Base Program"<br />
planning large scale deployment in selected regions<br />
> Better resilience than western markets facing <strong>the</strong> financial crisis –<br />
Chinese wind industry’s development is mostly directed by <strong>the</strong><br />
state with 80% of <strong>the</strong> market concentrated in large state-owned<br />
enterprises<br />
> Strong promotion of domestic manufacturing – In 2008 local<br />
players accounted for 75% of China WTG market up from 30% in<br />
2004<br />
– Higher taxes for importing wind turbines and key components<br />
– Specific incentives (cash subsidies pro MW) for <strong>the</strong><br />
manufacturing of turbines for domestic brands (>51%<br />
Chinese)<br />
– 70% localization must be achieved in order to participate in<br />
supply to state-owned wind farm operators<br />
> However, local manufacturing base is currently suffering from<br />
overcapacity (over 40%) and signifi<strong>can</strong>t fragmentation<br />

Six key factors are driving <strong>the</strong> utilities to fur<strong>the</strong>r increase wind<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir portfolio, broadening <strong>the</strong>ir energy mix<br />
OIL AND GAS RISK<br />
> Oil and gas prices and supply uncertainty<br />
increases <strong>the</strong> need for utilities to reduce <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
exposure<br />
> Wind broadens <strong>the</strong> energy mix cost-effectively<br />
CRISIS "WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY"<br />
> Problems for small and medium wind players<br />
to access financing<br />
> Acquisition of locations, equipment and know-how<br />
at low prices relying on strong cash flow from<br />
operations<br />
EU "20-20-20" TARGETS FOR 2020<br />
> Utilities are forced to auction 100% of required<br />
CO 2 certificates after 2013<br />
> Operation with CO 2-intensive energies<br />
(e.g. coal) will become more expensive<br />
Source: RBSC<br />
Utilities' growth<br />

market<br />
> Strong focus on<br />
reliability and yield<br />
> Global supply of<br />
wind turbines<br />
> Own project<br />
management and<br />
O&M organizations<br />
SHORT LEAD TIME OF WIND<br />
> Global energy demand grows by 10-20%<br />
each year<br />
> Building a standard wind park takes only<br />
3-5 years, a much shorter lead time than that<br />
of a conventional plant<br />
PROMOTE GREEN IMAGE<br />
> General public increases awareness on<br />
environmental issues<br />
> Utilities need to promote a green image<br />
opposed to <strong>the</strong> traditional "polluter" one<br />
POLITICAL INCENTIVES<br />
> Support by political initiatives making wind<br />
energy production more attractive<br />
(e.g. tax incentives, feed-in tariffs)<br />

IMPLICATIONS FOR OEMs<br />
> Short-term:<br />
– Maximize sales deals in an<br />
environment of WTG<br />
manufacturers overcapacity,<br />
ensuring '10 production and being<br />
ready for <strong>the</strong> re-launch<br />
– Maintain margins and payment<br />
conditions during current turbulent<br />
times (as far as possible; potential<br />
buyer will ask for signifi<strong>can</strong>t price<br />
reductions – from 10 to 20%)<br />
> Mid-term:<br />
– Prepare <strong>the</strong> sales organization for<br />
a "buyers' market" environment<br />

CONCLUSION<br />
Conclusion: The WTG market is changing from being a<br />
"pioneering" market into a mainstream industrial market<br />
PIONEERING MARKET (UNTIL 2008)<br />
Main market growth in a few Western European markets<br />
(Germany, Spain, Denmark) – US starting with delay<br />
MAINSTREAM MARKET (EXPECTED AS OF 2011)<br />
Growth broadening to all large and non fossil fuel<br />
exporting markets (Rest of EU, USA and China)<br />
Technology development occurring in parallel to WTG<br />
Product development following standard industrial<br />
manufacture with fast evolving model ranges – bottlenecks<br />
in component development and supply capacity<br />
WTGs were mainly purchased by developers or financial<br />
investors who primed delivery capability over price<br />
WTG industry was dominated by pioneers like Vestas and<br />
Gamesa<br />
Source: RBSC<br />
"Get large and industrially lean or exit!"<br />
practices and speeds – supply chains more stable and<br />
local<br />
Utilities are increasingly becoming buyers, who apply<br />
similar price/performance criteria as for conventional<br />
generation equipment – price squeeze is expected<br />
Large industrial players (Siemens, GE) and local<br />
players (Goldwind, Sinovel, etc.) are increasing <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
market share at <strong>the</strong> expense of <strong>the</strong> early pioneers –<br />
overcapacity will trigger consolidation<br />

B. Wind turbine manufactures will need to get large and<br />
industrially lean – Suppliers must follow suit<br />
