New NanoMarkets Report Sees Big Opportunities from Smart Grids for Sensors
New NanoMarkets Report Sees Big Opportunities from Smart Grids for Sensors
December 14, 2009Glenn Allen, Virginia: According to a new report from NanoMarkets, a Virginia-based industry analyst firm, the rollout of the Smart Grid will create significant new opportunities for sensor manufacturers.
The report, "Sensors for the Smart Grid: Market Opportunities 2010-2017," claims that building the new Smart Grid infrastructure will generate $11.4 billion revenue for sensors and related products. Additional details about the report can be found at www.nanomarkets.net. This new report is the next in a series from NanoMarkets that analyzes the opportunities that will emerge from the Smart Grids. Other reports from NanoMarkets address batteries and super capacitors, cables and insulators, customer premise equipment and regulatory policy analysis of Smart Grids. Key findings include:NanoMarkets forecasts that sensors for remote monitoring of transformers will generate $2.3 billion in revenues in 2017. Many transformers in the grid currently receive no attention until they fail; a cause of major blackouts.
The key measure of transformer health is dissolved gas and moisture analysis of the insulating oil. Thus equipping Smart Grid transformers with remote inspection dissolved gas monitors will provide the necessary "eyes and ears" to effectively monitor and protect transformer assets in real time. Remote inspection of transformers will be a key area for the implementation of sensors in the distribution network. One of the key goals of creating the Smart Grid is to enable more electricity to be carried on the transmission network and sensors can help achieve this goal in a variety of ways. One especially important example is dynamic line rating, a method to increase power flow over existing transmission lines, enabled by increased situational awareness of weather and line temperature conditions.
Real-time information about current weather conditions can then be used to calculate the true carrying capacity, increasing the allowable flow capacity by 10 percent-15 percent. By 2017, sensors for dynamic line rating devices in the Smart Grid are expected to account for more than $1.0 billion in revenue. According to NanoMarkets, by 2017, about $2.3 billion will also be spent on sensors for home-area networks (HAN). The biggest opportunity in this segment will be for appliances. Major companies including GE, LG, and Whirlpool have already committed to making a significant portion of their product line smart-enabled within the coming years.
Deploying sensors that link home appliances with smart meters will significantly increase overall energy efficiency and reduce peak demand generation requirements.
About the Report:NanoMarkets' new report provides an in-depth analysis of the emerging market for sensors in the Smart Grid. Areas covered include sensors for energy monitoring, load balancing sensors, security monitoring and equipment inspection. We examine the markets for such sensors in the transmission and distribution networks of the power companies and in the home.As with all NanoMarkets reports, this report contains a granular eight-year forecast in volume and value terms. And it also includes an assessment of the strategies of the leading players in this space as well the activities of the major standards organizations and their role in creating a smart sensor friendly grid ecosystem. The report also discusses the differences in the Smart Grid sensor market among the major industrialized countries of the world.

New NanoMarkets Report on Thin-Film Photovoltaics Materials Sees $13 Billion Opportunity in 2017
New NanoMarkets Report on Thin-Film Photovoltaics Materials Sees $13 Billion Opportunity in 2017
December 14, 2009
Glen Allen, Virginia: After the shakeout of the thin-film photovoltaics (TFPV) industry this year, NanoMarkets LC, an industry-analysis firm based here, sees a resumption of growth occurring in 2010, creating opportunities for materials firms of all kinds. According to NanoMarkets' just-published report on TFPV materials, consumption of these materials is now expected to rise to $13.1 billion by 2017. Additional details are available at http://www.nanomarkets.net/.
Key points:CIGS and CdTe have always been sensitive to the atmosphere, especially when used in flexible cells. However, new kinds of encapsulation materials are now opening up the market for CIGS and CdTe in flexible BIPV applications. The biggest news here has been the announcements during 2009 of suitable polymer/ceramic dyad films from Dow Chemical, FujiFilm, DuPont and 3M. By 2017, sales of TFPV encapsulation materials are expected to reach $1.6 billion.
The TFPV industry is rapidly moving away from the use of ITO as a transparent conductor. The big beneficiaries in this move will be Zinc Oxide and Tin Oxide, whose use is expected to bring major cost savings for the industry. By 2017, almost 90 percent of the transparent conductor material used by the TFPV industry is expected to be Zinc Oxide or Tin Oxide.
Sputtering is in decline for TFPV manufacturing, primarily because of the material wastage. Printing is on the increase, but the true unsung hero of TFPV manufacturing is electrodeposition which is rapidly growing and proving itself worthy of widespread use. By 2017, TFPV absorber materials that are either printed or electrodeposited will amount to almost $300 million.
About the report: NanoMarkets' new report, "Materials Markets for Inorganic Thin-Film Photovoltaics: 2010 to 2017" provides a complete analysis of the commercial opportunities for materials used in thin-film PV. The coverage comprises the absorber layer, electrode, substrate, encapsulation, and other materials used for CIGS, CdTe, and thin-film silicon PV. The report includes detailed eight-year forecasts of thin-film materials broken out by applications and chemistry, as well as reviews of the latest research and the corporate strategies of firms active in the sector.
This report discusses the activities of dozens of firms including 3M, 5N Plus, ACI Alloys, Air Liquide, All-Chemie, American Elements, BOC, Cambrios, Cerac, Cima Nanotech, Corning, Creative Materials, Dow Chemical, Dow Corning, DuPont, Evonik, First Solar, FujiFilm, Global Solar, Indium Corporation, Linde, Mitsubishi, Nanoco, NSG, Praxair, REC, Redlen Technologies, Saint-Gobain, Sanyo, Schott, Sputtering Materials, Super Conductor Materials, Taiyo Nippon Sanso, Tianwei Baoding, Tico Titanium, ULVAC, Umicore, Vitex, and Voltaix.

Northern Power Systems’ Wind Turbines Generate Clean Energy with Help from Analog Devices’ SHARC Processors -
Northern Power Systems’ Wind Turbines Generate Clean Energy with Help from Analog Devices’ SHARC Processors -
Northwind® 100 wind turbines utilize SHARC digital signal processors and other precision ADI components to maximize energy extraction and optimize system controls.
NORWOOD, Mass.----Analog Devices, Inc. today announced that Northern Power Systems has selected ADI SHARC® digital signal processors for use within the company’s flagship Northwind® 100 community-scale wind turbines. Northern Power Systems’ Northwind 100 uses an advanced “digital drivetrain” to deliver 100 kilowatts of rated power for community wind applications such as schools/universities, businesses, farms, and municipalities. Leveraging SHARC processors, data converters and other advanced ADI components to ensure high-performance system operation, the Northwind 100’s Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) design eliminates the need for a gearbox in favor of a full power converter. ADI’s expertise in next-generation energy infrastructure assures that companies like Northern Power Systems are equipped with advanced components across the entire signal chain to enhance the value, performance and innovation of their system designs.
“Just as our innovative, gearless wind turbine designs help customers achieve the highest possible energy yield and return on investment, ADI’s similarly elegant signal processing platform has helped us realize significant system performance gains without compromising on cost,” said Kiran Kumar, Lead Controls/Embedded Engineer, Northern Power Systems.
The Northwind 100 generator’s power flow is regulated by the power converter to compensate for variable wind speeds, which helps to maximize energy extraction. This capability ultimately enables a Northwind 100 wind turbine to provide a steady flow of clean power to a local grid, simplifying grid interconnect infrastructure and maintaining grid stability.
At the heart of this system is ADI’s 32-bit floating point SHARC 21363 digital signal processor, which hosts real-time closed-loop control algorithms to efficiently control the Northwind 100’s generator and power converter subsystems, based in part on incoming data provided by the ADI AD7656 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) embedded in the data acquisition hardware and ADI dual-axis iMEMS® ADXL203 accelerometer sub-assembly part affixed to the turbine’s nacelle. Delivering core processing performance up to 333 MHz/2 GFLOPS with support for IEEE 32-bit/40-bit floating point and 32-bit fixed point operations, SHARC 21363 processors employ an enhanced Single Instruction, Multiple-Data (SIMD) architecture to provide the real-time processing bandwidth and atomicity required to keep these subsystems running in precise coordination.
SHARC 21363 processors feature integrated 3 Mb SRAM/4 Mb ROM on-chip memory and a rich peripheral set to accommodate a wide range of configuration options. The Northwind 100’s data acquisition platform hosts the ADI AD7656, which provides the high-speed signal sampling and data conversion that feeds into the system’s real-time closed-loop control algorithms. This is facilitated by the SHARC 21363’s six high-speed serial ports (SPORTs), yielding a seamlessly connected signal chain that helped minimize design complexity.
“With high-performance Analog Devices components at the core of the Northwind 100 wind turbine, Northern Power Systems’ customers are assured ultra efficient power generation that reduces energy costs and minimizes the community’s environmental footprint,” said Tim Resker, Product Marketing Manager, Analog Devices. “For utility-side and consumer-side applications, Analog Devices enables technology developers like Northern Power Systems to design intelligent systems that promote energy efficiency and maximize investments in clean, renewable power.”

U.S. Solar Market to Double by 2011
U.S. Solar Market to Double by 2011; New Projects Will Support at Least 50,000 New Jobs and Over $6.1B in Annual Investment
Growth in Nevada, New Jersey and Arizona Will Diversify the U.S. Solar Market, Utility-Scale Projects Represent Largest Market Opportunity
CAMBRIDGE, MA--- December 8, 2009 - The United States is on pace to dominate the global solar PV market, according to a recent report by GTM Research: The United States PV Market Through 2013: Project Economics, Policy, Demand and Strategy. Buoyed by falling solar prices and a domestic economy on the rebound, the U.S. will challenge Germany as the industry's largest solar market over the next four years.
GTM Research estimates that demand for PV installations will grow by roughly 50 percent annually to between 1.5 GW and 2 GW in 2012. This growth could support at least 50,000 new jobs and over $6.1 billion in annual investment, and it will allow 1.5 million homes to enjoy clean, reliable solar energy. The graphic provides demand projections for the U.S. through 2012.
2009 Will Be a Record Year for the U.S. PV Market
Despite the recession, the report argues that 2009 is a record year for the U.S. PV Market. Installed projects will reach 440 MW in 2009, up from 320 MW in 2008. By 2011, demand will more than double to reach 1,212 MW.
Demand is increasingly supported by the residential and utility-scale sectors, which have taken advantage of new incentives in the Recovery Act of 2008. Funding from the 2009 Stimulus Package (ARRA) will also support an expanded market for public sector projects.
Second-Tier State Markets Gain Increasing Importance
California remains the country's dominant state market, but second-tier states will soon emerge to diversify the U.S. market. By 2012, combined base-case demand from Arizona, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada and Massachusetts will reach 376 MW. With this new opportunity, it is more important than ever to understand the complex mix of incentives and regulations that govern growth in these new state markets.
"California will remain the largest PV market in the country, but downstream success is contingent on competing in the five to seven second-tier demand states that will emerge by 2012, each supporting over 40 MW of annual demand," said Shayle Kann, Energy Analyst at GTM Research and co-author of the report.
Utility-Scale Projects Drive Growth
Utility-scale installations will be the fastest growing market segment, stealing market share from the commercial sector and reaching 466 MW in the 2012 base-case scenario. This is partly a result of renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requirements and a wave of new solar-specific RFPs in states with solar carve-outs. It is also a result of heightened interest in utility ownership of PV, for which there are numerous economic and operational benefits for utilities.
"Innovations in utility-scale PV business models will create new market opportunities for traditional players in the energy and infrastructure space, as well as for European project developers with experience building large PV projects. This emergent market will also benefit the handful of well-funded, experienced U.S. PV project developers," said Daniel Englander, GTM Research's Senior Energy Analyst and the report's co-author.
Detailed information and intelligence on project financing, profiles of all leading project developers, detailed analysis of the 16 primary state markets, demand projections by state and market segment, and analysis of the impacts of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) on PV demand in the U.S. can be found in the report.

Investment in All Energy Sources is Required, ExxonMobil Says in New Outlook for Energy:
Investment in All Energy Sources is Required, ExxonMobil Says in New Outlook for Energy:
A View to 2030
•Energy demand to be about 35 percent higher in 2030 than it was in 2005 as economies grow and living standards improve worldwide
•Meeting demand will require trillions of dollars of investment and a commitment to innovation
•Natural gas supply to expand, particularly in the U.S. where unconventional gas supplies are expected to meet more than 50 percent of gas demand by 2030
IRVING, Texas--Growing world economies will increase energy demand by about 35 percent in 2030 compared to 2005, requiring trillions of dollars in investment and a commitment to innovation and technology, Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) said today as it released its new edition of Outlook for Energy: A View to 2030.
“In our energy outlook, we see many hopeful things – economic recovery and growth, improved living standards and a reduction in poverty, and promising new energy technologies,” said Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer. “But we also see a tremendous challenge, and that is how to meet the world’s growing energy needs while also reducing the impact of energy use on the environment.”
Tillerson said supplies of all economic fuel sources need to be expanded to satisfy projected increases in global energy demand and ensure reliable and affordable energy to meet social, economic and environmental challenges.
ExxonMobil notes that together, population and economic growth through 2030 will continue to drive global energy demand higher. The world’s population is expected to rise to almost 8 billion, creating new demands for energy for personal needs such as fuels for cars and electricity for homes, but also energy that is consumed indirectly to serve the broader society and economy.
The Outlook includes an assessment of how potential carbon emission reduction policies will affect future energy demand and impact the fuel mix. For example, imposing higher costs for carbon emissions would impact energy prices and provide an incentive to switch to less carbon-intensive fuels such as natural gas, which can help meet growing electricity demand and help reduce power generation emissions by up to 60 percent versus coal.
Among this year’s findings:
•Rapid economic growth in developing countries that are not part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) will increase their energy demand by about 65 percent through 2030 compared to 2005. By contrast, in OECD countries, energy demand is expected to be essentially flat over the period to 2030, even though their economies will be more than 50 percent larger on average. •Efficiency gains are expected to accelerate between 2005 and 2030 versus historical trends. Gains in energy efficiency will curb energy demand growth through 2030 by about 65 percent. •There will be an expansion of natural gas supply, particularly in the United States where unconventional gas supplies are expected to satisfy more than 50 percent of gas demand by 2030. •Power generation is the largest and fastest growing energy-demand sector and represents 55 percent of the total growth in demand through 2030. At that time, power generation will account for about 40 percent of total primary energy demand. •Fossil fuels – oil, natural gas and coal – will continue to meet most of the world’s needs during this period because no other energy source can match their availability, versatility, affordability and scale. The fastest-growing of these fuels will be natural gas, reflecting its abundance, versatility and economic advantages as an efficient, clean-burning fuel for power generation. •Wind, solar, and biofuels will grow sharply through 2030, at nearly 10 percent per year on average. However, because they are starting from a small base, their contribution by 2030 will remain relatively small at about 2.5 percent of total energy. The Outlook for Energy is developed annually to assist ExxonMobil’s business planning and to increase public understanding of the world’s energy needs and challenges. The Outlook is developed through a detailed analysis of approximately 100 countries, 15 demand sectors and 20 fuel types and is underpinned by economic and population projections and expectations of significant energy efficiency improvements and technology advancements.

A View to 2030
•Energy demand to be about 35 percent higher in 2030 than it was in 2005 as economies grow and living standards improve worldwide
•Meeting demand will require trillions of dollars of investment and a commitment to innovation
•Natural gas supply to expand, particularly in the U.S. where unconventional gas supplies are expected to meet more than 50 percent of gas demand by 2030
IRVING, Texas--Growing world economies will increase energy demand by about 35 percent in 2030 compared to 2005, requiring trillions of dollars in investment and a commitment to innovation and technology, Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) said today as it released its new edition of Outlook for Energy: A View to 2030.
“In our energy outlook, we see many hopeful things – economic recovery and growth, improved living standards and a reduction in poverty, and promising new energy technologies,” said Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer. “But we also see a tremendous challenge, and that is how to meet the world’s growing energy needs while also reducing the impact of energy use on the environment.”
Tillerson said supplies of all economic fuel sources need to be expanded to satisfy projected increases in global energy demand and ensure reliable and affordable energy to meet social, economic and environmental challenges.
ExxonMobil notes that together, population and economic growth through 2030 will continue to drive global energy demand higher. The world’s population is expected to rise to almost 8 billion, creating new demands for energy for personal needs such as fuels for cars and electricity for homes, but also energy that is consumed indirectly to serve the broader society and economy.
The Outlook includes an assessment of how potential carbon emission reduction policies will affect future energy demand and impact the fuel mix. For example, imposing higher costs for carbon emissions would impact energy prices and provide an incentive to switch to less carbon-intensive fuels such as natural gas, which can help meet growing electricity demand and help reduce power generation emissions by up to 60 percent versus coal.
Among this year’s findings:
•Rapid economic growth in developing countries that are not part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) will increase their energy demand by about 65 percent through 2030 compared to 2005. By contrast, in OECD countries, energy demand is expected to be essentially flat over the period to 2030, even though their economies will be more than 50 percent larger on average. •Efficiency gains are expected to accelerate between 2005 and 2030 versus historical trends. Gains in energy efficiency will curb energy demand growth through 2030 by about 65 percent. •There will be an expansion of natural gas supply, particularly in the United States where unconventional gas supplies are expected to satisfy more than 50 percent of gas demand by 2030. •Power generation is the largest and fastest growing energy-demand sector and represents 55 percent of the total growth in demand through 2030. At that time, power generation will account for about 40 percent of total primary energy demand. •Fossil fuels – oil, natural gas and coal – will continue to meet most of the world’s needs during this period because no other energy source can match their availability, versatility, affordability and scale. The fastest-growing of these fuels will be natural gas, reflecting its abundance, versatility and economic advantages as an efficient, clean-burning fuel for power generation. •Wind, solar, and biofuels will grow sharply through 2030, at nearly 10 percent per year on average. However, because they are starting from a small base, their contribution by 2030 will remain relatively small at about 2.5 percent of total energy.

Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG) to Develop Maryland’s Largest Solar Photovoltaic Power System
Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG) to Develop Maryland’s Largest Solar Photovoltaic Power System
BALTIMORE= Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG) announced that it has been selected by the state of Maryland to develop an approximately 15.9 megawatt DC (13.5 MW/AC) solar photovoltaic power installation under the state’s Generating Clean Horizons initiative. This installation will represent the bulk of a 17.1 megawatt DC (14.5 MW/AC), approximately $60 million solar facility that will be constructed, owned, operated and maintained by Constellation Energy on land leased from Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Md. The system is expected to be completed by December 2012 and would be the largest solar photovoltaic installation in Maryland. Only two photovoltaic systems currently in operation in the U.S. are larger.
“Constellation Energy is pleased to be partnering with the state of Maryland on the Generating Clean Horizons initiative to develop new sources of clean power and stimulate the economy through the growth of the clean energy sector,” said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Constellation Energy. “This large-scale solar facility will make a significant contribution to our shared goal of a cleaner energy future.”
Renewable electricity produced by the system will be purchased by the state of Maryland under a 20-year solar power purchase agreement. The system is expected to produce more than 21,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
The system will utilize innovative thin-film photovoltaic solar panels situated on approximately 100 acres of university land. Under the agreement, Mount St. Mary’s University will also purchase 1.2 megawatts of electricity from the system.
“This unique partnership with Constellation Energy strengthens Mount St. Mary’s University’s commitment to the promotion and creation of clean energy,” said Thomas H. Powell, president, Mount St. Mary’s University. “It continues the ‘greening’ of the Mount. Our students will be on the forefront of responsible land use and creation of renewable energy resources. Frederick County will benefit not only from our generation of clean energy but also from the reduction of dependence on more traditional use of coal, natural gas and fossil fuels.”
The Maryland Energy Administration, in partnership with the University System of Maryland and the Department of General Services approved the award of four renewable energy projects under the Generating Clean Horizons program launched in February 2009 to spur the development of large-scale, commercial renewable energy projects like this one. Under the initiative, the state issued requests for proposals for long-term power purchase agreements from renewable power sources delivering clean power to the grid by 2014.
Constellation Energy’s solar facility in Emmitsburg represents several recent commitments by the company to energy efficiency and clean energy projects in Maryland. Last week the company announced that it signed an agreement to develop a $140 million, 70-megawatt wind energy project in Garrett County, Md. The company also recently completed construction of a $1 billion air quality scrubber at its Brandon Shores power plant. Baltimore Gas and Electric, Constellation Energy’s regulated utility in Central Maryland, announced that it has received federal matching dollars to develop one of the most ambitious Smart Grid systems in the United States. Constellation Energy also continues to be recognized as a leader pursuing the development of greenhouse-gas-emissions-free new nuclear plants in the U.S.
Constellation Energy has developed approximately 10 megawatts of solar photovoltaic systems for customers in Maryland and throughout the U.S. In 2008, the company developed a 300-kilowatt solar system for the Maryland Environmental Service, the first of its kind for a Maryland state agency.

EPA: Greenhouse Gases Threaten Public Health and the Environment / Science overwhelmingly shows greenhouse gas concentrations at unprecedented levels
EPA: Greenhouse Gases Threaten Public Health and the Environment / Science overwhelmingly shows greenhouse gas concentrations at unprecedented levels due to human activity
WASHINGTON –Release date: 12/07/2009 - After a thorough examination of the scientific evidence and careful consideration of public comments, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that greenhouse gases (GHGs) threaten the public health and welfare of the American people. EPA also finds that GHG emissions from on-road vehicles contribute to that threat.
GHGs are the primary driver of climate change, which can lead to hotter, longer heat waves that threaten the health of the sick, poor or elderly; increases in ground-level ozone pollution linked to asthma and other respiratory illnesses; as well as other threats to the health and welfare of Americans.
“These long-overdue findings cement 2009’s place in history as the year when the United States Government began addressing the challenge of greenhouse-gas pollution and seizing the opportunity of clean-energy reform,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “Business leaders, security experts, government officials, concerned citizens and the United States Supreme Court have called for enduring, pragmatic solutions to reduce the greenhouse gas pollution that is causing climate change. This continues our work towards clean energy reform that will cut GHGs and reduce the dependence on foreign oil that threatens our national security and our economy.”
EPA’s final findings respond to the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision that GHGs fit within the Clean Air Act definition of air pollutants. The findings do not in and of themselves impose any emission reduction requirements but rather allow EPA to finalize the GHG standards proposed earlier this year for new light-duty vehicles as part of the joint rulemaking with the Department of Transportation.
On-road vehicles contribute more than 23 percent of total U.S. GHG emissions. EPA’s proposed GHG standards for light-duty vehicles, a subset of on-road vehicles, would reduce GHG emissions by nearly 950 million metric tons and conserve 1.8 billion barrels of oil over the lifetime of model year 2012-2016 vehicles.
EPA’s endangerment finding covers emissions of six key greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride – that have been the subject of scrutiny and intense analysis for decades by scientists in the United States and around the world.
Scientific consensus shows that as a result of human activities, GHG concentrations in the atmosphere are at record high levels and data shows that the Earth has been warming over the past 100 years, with the steepest increase in warming in recent decades. The evidence of human-induced climate change goes beyond observed increases in average surface temperatures; it includes melting ice in the Arctic, melting glaciers around the world, increasing ocean temperatures, rising sea levels, acidification of the oceans due to excess carbon dioxide, changing precipitation patterns, and changing patterns of ecosystems and wildlife.
President Obama and Administrator Jackson have publicly stated that they support a legislative solution to the problem of climate change and Congress’ efforts to pass comprehensive climate legislation. However, climate change is threatening public health and welfare, and it is critical that EPA fulfill its obligation to respond to the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that determined that greenhouse gases fit within the Clean Air Act definition of air pollutants.
EPA issued the proposed findings in April 2009 and held a 60-day public comment period. The agency received more than 380,000 comments, which were carefully reviewed and considered during the development of the final findings.

GE Invests $117 Million in EDP Renewables’ Oklahoma Wind Farm and Additional $111 Million in Established Wind Farm Portfolio
GE Invests $117 Million in EDP Renewables’ Oklahoma Wind Farm and Additional $111 Million in Established Wind Farm Portfolio
LAWTON, Okla.----GE Energy Financial Services, a unit of GE (NYSE: GE), in partnership with Horizon Wind Energy LLC, --owned by EDP Renewables (NYSE Euronext: EDPR) -- is investing $117 million in an Oklahoma wind farm.
Horizon Wind Energy’s Blue Canyon V wind farm is a 99 MW expansion of a 225-megawatt wind farm near the small towns of Lawton and Elgin in Comanche County and Apache in Caddo County in southwest Oklahoma. In operation since last month, this project was built with GE 1.5-megawatt turbines and supplies its power to the Public Service Company of Oklahoma under a 20-year contract.
“Through this transaction, GE Energy Financial Services is putting millions of dollars to work in an attractive wind project in rural America with a developer we know and trust,” said Kevin Walsh, Managing Director and leader of Power and Renewable Energy at GE Energy Financial Services. “We look forward to continuing to work with Horizon, which can redeploy its capital to execute on its growth strategy and make other investments in the US wind industry.”
Horizon Wind Energy has estimated that this project can generate enough energy to power approximately 30,000 homes and avoid approximately 240,000 tons a year in greenhouse gas emissions—the equivalent of taking 30,000 cars off the road. This highly productive, utility-scale wind farm receives a production tax credit, an income tax credit for each kilowatt-hour of electricity produced.
“These equity investments help us in continuing our growth and efficiently realizing incentives provided by the United States government,” said Gabriel Alonso, CEO of Horizon Wind Energy. “With partners like GE Energy Financial Services and its energy expertise and access to capital, EDP Renewables is targeting to invest over $4 billion in building new wind farms the next three years."
In addition to Blue Canyon, GE Energy Financial Services invested $111 million to join a previously closed transaction, Vento III, which consists of three wind farms, generating a total 604 megawatts: Rattlesnake Road (103 MW), in Oregon, west of Arlington in Gilliam County; Meridian Way (201 MW), in north central Kansas in Cloud County; and Pioneer Prairie (300 MW), in northeastern Iowa in Howard and Mitchell Counties.
GE Energy Financial Services and Horizon Wind Energy had also partnered in January 2008, when the GE unit invested $300 million in a 600 MW portfolio of Horizon Wind Energy’s projects spanning four US states.
Wind makes up nearly 80 percent of GE Energy Financial Services’ more than $4 billion renewable energy portfolio. The company plans to expand its renewable energy portfolio to $6 billion by the end of 2010, including investments in wind, solar, biomass, hydroelectric and geothermal power generation projects. This investment reinforces GE’s ecomagination initiative, a program to help its customers meet their environmental challenges while expanding its own portfolio of cleaner energy products.
EDP Renewables, parent company to Horizon Wind Energy, recently announced that they have targeted to devote approximately $4 billion to building new wind farms in the United States through 2012. Such investment will help create thousands of jobs to develop, build and operate the new projects, as well as to manufacture the equipment that will be installed in such projects. The target will build on the record amount of new capacity the company has already installed and has under construction in 2009, totaling 800 megawatts (MW) worth more than $1.5 billion of investment.

Horizon Wind Energy’s Blue Canyon V wind farm is a 99 MW expansion of a 225-megawatt wind farm near the small towns of Lawton and Elgin in Comanche County and Apache in Caddo County in southwest Oklahoma. In operation since last month, this project was built with GE 1.5-megawatt turbines and supplies its power to the Public Service Company of Oklahoma under a 20-year contract.
“Through this transaction, GE Energy Financial Services is putting millions of dollars to work in an attractive wind project in rural America with a developer we know and trust,” said Kevin Walsh, Managing Director and leader of Power and Renewable Energy at GE Energy Financial Services. “We look forward to continuing to work with Horizon, which can redeploy its capital to execute on its growth strategy and make other investments in the US wind industry.”
Horizon Wind Energy has estimated that this project can generate enough energy to power approximately 30,000 homes and avoid approximately 240,000 tons a year in greenhouse gas emissions—the equivalent of taking 30,000 cars off the road. This highly productive, utility-scale wind farm receives a production tax credit, an income tax credit for each kilowatt-hour of electricity produced.
“These equity investments help us in continuing our growth and efficiently realizing incentives provided by the United States government,” said Gabriel Alonso, CEO of Horizon Wind Energy. “With partners like GE Energy Financial Services and its energy expertise and access to capital, EDP Renewables is targeting to invest over $4 billion in building new wind farms the next three years."
In addition to Blue Canyon, GE Energy Financial Services invested $111 million to join a previously closed transaction, Vento III, which consists of three wind farms, generating a total 604 megawatts: Rattlesnake Road (103 MW), in Oregon, west of Arlington in Gilliam County; Meridian Way (201 MW), in north central Kansas in Cloud County; and Pioneer Prairie (300 MW), in northeastern Iowa in Howard and Mitchell Counties.
GE Energy Financial Services and Horizon Wind Energy had also partnered in January 2008, when the GE unit invested $300 million in a 600 MW portfolio of Horizon Wind Energy’s projects spanning four US states.
Wind makes up nearly 80 percent of GE Energy Financial Services’ more than $4 billion renewable energy portfolio. The company plans to expand its renewable energy portfolio to $6 billion by the end of 2010, including investments in wind, solar, biomass, hydroelectric and geothermal power generation projects. This investment reinforces GE’s ecomagination initiative, a program to help its customers meet their environmental challenges while expanding its own portfolio of cleaner energy products.
EDP Renewables, parent company to Horizon Wind Energy, recently announced that they have targeted to devote approximately $4 billion to building new wind farms in the United States through 2012. Such investment will help create thousands of jobs to develop, build and operate the new projects, as well as to manufacture the equipment that will be installed in such projects. The target will build on the record amount of new capacity the company has already installed and has under construction in 2009, totaling 800 megawatts (MW) worth more than $1.5 billion of investment.

Green Investor News - UK Energy Minister Opens Europe’s First Smart Grid Center at GE Energy’s UK Headquarters
Green Investor News - UK Energy Minister Opens Europe’s First Smart Grid Center at GE Energy’s UK Headquarters
Lord Hunt “Encouraged by Proven Technology Solutions to Power United Kingdom with Cleaner Energy”
BRACKNELL, United Kingdom----U.K. Energy Minister Lord Hunt today officially opened Europe’s first Smart Grid Center at a ceremony held at GE Energy’s Bracknell headquarters. The new center supports the United Kingdom’s effort to help consumers use energy more efficiently and cut carbon emissions.
In his remarks at the event, Lord Hunt cited “the need for a concerted effort to build a smarter electricity grid” and called on utilities, technology companies and consumers “to work together with government for a smarter energy future.”
The technologies that will improve energy efficiency for consumers across the United Kingdom will be showcased at GE’s (NYSE: GE) new Smart Grid Center, the first of its kind in Europe. The center offers visitors the first-ever “generation to appliances” view of the smart grid, showing utilities, government and consumers the many dramatic energy-management and carbon footprint-reducing advances available today.
“With increasing global demand for energy and on the eve of the Copenhagen climate change talks, now is the time to re-think how we deliver smarter, cleaner and more efficient electricity,” said Magued ElDaief, managing director of GE Energy U.K. “In addition to participating in the global dialogue to plan a better energy future, GE has been building and testing real-world solutions that are ready to deploy today.”
At the event, the government announced the publication of a smart grid policy document and the results of a “2050 Vision document” drafted by the Energy Networks Strategy Group.
”The U.K. government’s goal of installing smart meters in every home by 2020 is a valuable step towards smarter energy usage,” said ElDaief. “In the United Kingdom, GE already provides grid management technologies for 13 of the 14 distribution network operators. Our solutions at the Smart Grid Center show how we can further maximize performance from power plants to neighborhood distribution and ultimately consumer usage in the home, the school and the workplace.
“We invite utilities, scientists, government officials and engineers to visit our Smart Grid Center and work together towards a cleaner, smarter, more efficient energy future,” concluded ElDaief.
For Editors:
Building the smart grid is widely accepted as crucial to meeting the United Kingdom’s energy challenges and reducing our power system’s carbon footprint. GE’s smart grid technologies range from Internet-like grid automation and control and computerized outage isolation/repair to streamlined renewable energy integration that makes distributed wind and solar power practical. GE’s smart meters and communications platforms give consumers valuable tools to understand and manage their energy use, empowering them make informed decisions that can control costs.
By demonstrating technology solutions in a smart grid context, the center reveals how advances can work together to improve the reliability and efficiency across the energy system. GE Smart Grid Center visitors will experience the vision of GE and collaborating companies for a new way of thinking about energy. They also will learn that many of the technology advances that can have huge reliability, efficiency and environmental impacts are ready to install and begin saving today.
