• When selling wind farms after completion: attractive returns and high revenues, but much higher capital requirements
• Project business: successive invoicing after construction progress (milestone payments)

3. Market and strategy

Market and strategy

Global development of wind power

• Increased international demand for renewable energy is based on:
• Growing population = Increasing demand for energy
• Scarcity of fossil fuels
• Prevention of CO2 emissions
• Security of supply
• New installed capacity in 2012: 44,711 MW
• Double-digit growth rates with a doubling of current installed total capacity (282,482 MW) until 2020

Market and strategy

Offshore Europe and Germany

• 2012: 1,166 MW of offshore wind turbines connected to the grid bringing total installed capacity to 4,995 MW in Europe
• An additional 3,300 MW are under construction
• EU climate targets: 40,000 MW by 2020 and 150,000 MW by 2030, the targets are ambitious and actual installation rates are behind schedule
• The German government targets 20,000 to 25,000 MW by 2030
• Offshore wind farms to become an critical supplier of energy following the decision to exit nuclear power

Market and strategy

Falling turbine prices reduce regulatory constraints

• The price of onshore wind power is already today nearly competitive with generation costs from coal, gas and nuclear power
• By 2020, the price for offshore power is forecasted to fall by more than 20% per MWh
• Lower turbine prices ensure greater competitiveness of wind farms

Regulatory environment

Renewable energy in Germany

• Wind energy is very cost effective compared to other renewable energy sources: 43% of the electricity generated from renewable energy comes from wind power, but represents only 19% of the EEG costs
• Renewable energies enjoy broad support in Germany: 89% of Germans rate the topic as "important" or "very important"

PNE WIND II 30

Regulatory environment

Renewable energy in Germany

• German government plans to source at least 80% of electricity from renewable energy by
• The structure of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) is currently being debated
• The framework for the grid connection of offshore projects in Germany has greatly improved

2050

• All EU member states have committed themselves to increasing the amount of renewable energy, with the goal that by 2020 the EU will source 20% of energy from renewable sources
• The European Commission wants to reduce the amount of CO2 allowances significantly
