China’s first off-shore turbine manufactured by Goldwind

(1.5MW) was installed in the Bohai Sea in 2007

Goldwind Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) 1.5MW turbines are in operation at over 50 wind farms across China and the world

2010 annual installation was 2,328 units （ 3,492MW）

More than 4,000 units (6,000 MW) installed globally as of April 2011

What Does it take to foster a prosperous wind industry?• Willing investors• Government policies and incentives• Supportive grid network operators • Technical capabilities to develop, build and operate wind

projects• Financial capabilities of financial institutions, local and/or

international• Local participation

– Wind Farm Ownership– Financing– Manufacturing– Construction– Operation and Maintenance

• Community acceptance and understanding

Role of Institutions

5

Government policy makers and regulators• Industry policy and legislation• Development targets and master plan• Mechanisms and Incentives, e.g. FIT, REC, duty and tax, land subsidy, etc

Role of Institutions

An example:

The integration of Government Policy and Industry in China

Number 1 globally for installed capacity in 2010

Four Chinese wind turbine manufacturers in the global top ten

Selection of key industrial sectors for national economic growth

Building up of the domestic industry through incentives

Growth of industry and increased ability to export and compete on global markets with high quality products

Technical capability• Wind farm Development

– Site identification– Site monitoring, and wind analysis– Equipment selection– Due Diligence

• Feasibility study• Environment • Engineering, procurement and construction • Grid integration • Operation and maintenance • Turbine Research and Development

– Development of wind turbine models to suit special local conditions

– Cost reduction and optimization

Role of Institutions

8

Financial capability • Project financing experience • Knowledge of wind industry • Wind project due diligence capabilities• Availability of funds and various funding mechanisms• Appropriate pricing for “infrastructure asset class” debt and equity• Strengthening of intermediaries for smaller scale investments

Role of Institutions

Wind projects are capital intensive with

long periods of return; financial institutions need to understand and cater for such projects in their

financing offerings9

Role of Institutions

An example:

The institutionalization of financing policy in IndiaIREDA (Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency) established in 1987 as a non-banking, market-based company under the administrative control of MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy)

These financing schemes promoted the development of manufacturing, servicing and marketing infrastructure, enabling wind power technology to develop and prove itself as an attractive investment to commercial financial institutions.

International Cooperation

How institutions can scale-up wind power at a regional level

Potential Activities•Provide forums for communicating policies and regulations•Set up networks to share information on supply and demand•Organize training programs and exchange visits

International Cooperation

Why regional cooperation is important for wind power development• Knowledge sharing

– Learning from the experiences of other nations in implementing suitable policies, incentives and processes will fuel regional progress

– Clear targets for wind power will push growth and competition, reducing costs to consumers

– Training and education to develop ‘global citizens’

• Infrastructure sharing– Making use of regional resources – Increasing grid reliability and performance– Technology diffusion to attain competitive, high international standards

• Capability sharing– Holistic and internationally supported research and development e.g.

investigation into short-term wind forecasting, can be adapted and used to develop advanced technology

• Power trade– Improvement of the regional economy and foreign trade balance

13

Conclusion

• Asia has become the global number one region for wind power, and many asian companies are now active in the world market with global supply chains and international subsidiaries/cross border co-operation

• Regional cooperation can increase the proliferation of wind power through shared experiences, policy, research, infrastructure and technical capabilities.

• Institutions (Political, Academic, Technical and Financial) play a big part in the expansion of wind power.

• Strengthened communication and building regional cooperation will provide a better understanding of wind power and accelerate its development.
