Germany: Survey into wind turbine maintenance quality
Børsen, 12 Mar 2007,:- A new survey conducted by German wind power organisation Bundesverband Windenergie shows that German Enercon ranks first when it comes to customer satisfaction in wind turbine producers' service and maintenance work. Repower ranks second, whereas Danish Vestas ranks fifth after German Fuhrländer and Siemens, but beats German Nordex. GE Energy ranks at the bottom.
According to the survey, every fifth owner of a Vestas wind turbine in Germany is dissatisfied with the Danish company's service organisation. These turbine owners are planning to give future orders for turbine maintenance and service to other companies.

Despite this, Vestas ranks among the five companies with an overall grade of 'satisfactory'.

Vestas has increased its market share in Vestas and had a 35% market share in the country in 2006 vs. 38% for Enercon.

Finland: Clear goals for wind power production
Pohjalainen, 11 Mar 2007, p.7:- According to Erkki Haapanen of the Finnish Wind Power Association, wind power supplements other energy forms. In some areas wind power could be used to power entire islands. Reliable equipment and good planning is required.
Haapanen suggests that Finland aim for 500 MW of wind-generated power by 2010 and for 1,000 MW by 2015. He claims that wind power pricing should be rationalised. Wind power is an investment in the future.

Haapanen expects to see more wind power units in Finland, although inconsistent subsidies policy has slowed down construction. He stresses the importance of research and development. The branch could create tens of thousands of jobs.

RTRS-Bekentenissen in corruptieproces Siemens (2)
N i e u w bericht, meer informatie

DARMSTADT (ANP) - Werknemers van het Duitse
technologieconcern Siemens hebben steekpenningen betaald om
contracten voor windturbines in de wacht te slepen van onder
meer het Italiaanse energiebedrijf Enel. Dat hebben twee
voormalige managers van Siemens dinsdag verklaard voor de
rechtbank in Darmstadt.

De twee, die zelf tot de hoofdverdachten behoren, bekenden
betrokken te zijn geweest bij het betalen van smeergeld via
bankrekeningen in Zwitserland en Liechtenstein. Volgens een van
de beklaagden was het bij Siemens in brede kring bekend dat
werknemers van potentiële klanten werden omgekocht om orders
binnen te halen.

In totaal zou circa 6 miljoen euro aan smeergeld zijn
betaald om voor Siemens de opdrachten in Italië veilig te
stellen. De totale waarde van de orders bedroeg 450 miljoen
euro. Twee medewerkers van Enel, een staatsbedrijf, zijn in
Milaan al eerder veroordeeld tot gevangenisstraffen, evenals
twee andere medewerkers van Siemens.

Siemens is ook verwikkeld in een ander, omvangrijker
corruptieschandaal. Hoewel het in de huidige rechtszaak zelf
niet terechtstaat, kunnen de verklaringen van de beklaagden de
geloofwaardigheid van het concern fors ondermijnen. Ook kan de
rechter besluiten dat het bedrijf afstand moet doen van de winst
die het heeft behaald uit de opdrachten die door middel van
steekpenningen zijn verkregen.

De twee verdachten hangt een maximale celstraf van vijftien
jaar boven het hoofd. Verwacht wordt echter dat de openbare
aanklager fors lagere straffen zal eisen omdat de beklaagden
bekentenissen hebben afgelegd en meewerken aan het onderzoek.
Volgens de rechter zijn evenwel geen afspraken gemaakt over
strafvermindering.

FPL Energy Blows Away Wind Power Competition in '06
FPL Energy edged out Spanish-based utility giant IBERDROLA to become the top global wind power owner in 2006, according to the latest rankings by energy consultant Emerging Energy Research (EER). According to EER's Global Wind Plant Ownership Ranking, FPL Energy ended the year ahead of IBERDROLA by 156 MW following major U.S. project activations (see Power Market Today, Jan. 30). However, the Spanish utility is likely to reclaim the leadership position this year after acquiring ScottishPower, which represents 1,400 MW of wind power capacity installed in the United Kingdom and the United States, EER noted. EER ranks the global top 20 wind plant owners on a net-ownership basis, which together account for approximately one-third of wind power capacity worldwide.
"Competition for global wind power leadership remains intense, with North America's sustained growth providing a major boost to FPL and up-and-coming IPPs [independent power producers] to compete with the acquisition strategies of European rivals," according to EER Research Director Keith Hays. "The rankings reflect a continuation of European utility dominance, though U.S. players' activations of mega projects and North America's broader growth prospects will increase competition across the Atlantic in the near future."

The top 20 wind power operators in the ranking added more than 5,100 MW in 2006 through a mix of existing pipeline projects on line and completion of major developer acquisitions, according to EER, which is based in Cambridge, MA.

Utilities dominated the rankings, representing 14 of the top 20 wind power owners ranked by EER. IPP activity is also on the rise as these utilities consolidate global pipelines. EER noted that major IPPs Acciona Energia, Babcock & Brown, Trinergy and Horizon have become key players through portfolio and project acquisition.

"The industry's global scaling is drawing wind plant leaders into new domestic and international markets, with a focus on acquisitions and on execution of project pipelines resulting from these deals," said Hays. "Sustaining a steady flow of MW additions will become increasingly dependent on diversifying geographically, with North America evolving as the largest scale near-term opportunity for global leaders on top of steady, smaller European project growth."

British Gas parent starts building 180-MW offshore wind farm
Centrica, the parent company of British Gas, has started construction on an offshore wind farm development equal in size to the largest in the UK by making a major investment in offshore wind turbines at its Lynn and Inner Dowsing sites in the Greater Wash off the Lincolnshire coast in eastern England, the company said March 5. Centrica has a contract with Siemens Power Generation to supply 54 3.6-MW turbines for the 180-MW development, enabling a range of other related contracts to progress. The project is expected to cost about £300 million ($584 million).
Construction work is to start for the offshore site, four miles off the coast, in spring 2007, with onshore work to connect the power generation cable in Lincolnshire already ongoing. The project, which will be capable of supplying electricity to around 130,000 homes and will save an estimated 500,000 metric tons of CO2 every year compared with fossil-fuel combustion, is scheduled for completion by end-2008.

The company is also a 50% partner in Barrow Offshore Wind, which is the same size as the Lynn and Inner Dowsing site. In addition, the company applied in January for planning consent to develop the 250-MW Lincs project, also in the Greater Wash.

Centrica has also said it would become a 50% partner in the onshore Braes of Doune wind farm in central Scotland, which recently generated its first power, taking the UK's total installed wind capacity above 2000 MW. Braes of Doune is currently in its commissioning phase, with completion expected during spring 2007.

Portugal's Alternative Energy Capacity Up to 6,975 MW Jan 2007
Portugal's installed capacity for production of electricity from renewable energy sources reached 6,975 MW at the end of January 2007, up by 13 MW compared to the previous month, data of the general directorate of geology and energy DGGE showed on April 3, 2007. The increase resulted from the opening of a new wind farm and a small-sized hydro-energy production plant in the country in the period, DGGE added.
The total wind power energy capacity in Portugal was 1,693 MW in January 2007, corresponding to 970 wind power turbines installed in 140 wind farms.

In January 2007 Portugal's Government gave licences for installation of another 3,262 MW wind power capacity in the next years. As a result, DGGE forecasts the country's wind power capacity to go up to some 2,000 MW by the end of the first half of 2007.

The licences for alternative energy production in Portugal, given by the government in the first month of 2007, amounted to 8,796 MW, up by 26 pct against the current installed capacity.

Production of electricity from renewable energy sources rose to 1.63 TWh in January 2007 from 1.08 TWh in the same period of the previous year. The highest 66 pct rise was registered by hydro-energy electricity production.

Mitsui Has Faith in Polish Wind
mopm
Another European wind power plant belonging to the Japanese company Mitsui is to be set up in Zajaczkowo, near Szczecin. Its energy is to be sold to houses, flats and production facilities in a year's time. The investment in Zachodniopomorskie will absorb around EUR70m. Twenty-four windmills will produce 48 MW of energy there. "This is the first investment by the Japanese in Polish energy. Apart from Japan, Mitsui has shares in wind farms in the US and Germany," Rzeczpospolita was told by Jan Michalowski from Zajaczkowo Windfarm, the company preparing the power station. It was founded by Mitsui, Electric Power Development (both holding 45 percent) and a Swiss firm Windfarmer. Wind energy is becoming increasingly popular in Poland. According to data from the Polish Wind Energy Association (PSEW), there are over thirty wind farms in Poland, producing 216 MW of energy. The figure could rise to 300 MW by the end of the year.

Areva biedt 140 euro per aandeel voor het Duitse bedrijf,
dat daarmee op 1,15 miljard euro wordt gewaardeerd. REpower
staat echter ook in de belangstelling van het Indiase Suzlon
Energy, dat bereid is 150 euro per aandeel op tafel te
leggen.

Areva heeft al een belang van ruim 30 procent in REpower en
had gezegd zijn bod gestand te zullen doen bij aanmelding van de
helft plus een van de rest van de aandelen.
