Worldwide wind power generation installed capacity grew by 19 per cent in 2012 to a total of 282 GW (source: Global Wind Energy Council) and is expected to break through the 300GW mark during 2013. Although new installation growth is expected to slow from its early, giddy heights in markets such as Europe and the US, regions such as Africa, Asia and South America provide on-going opportunities for the industry to continue its development path. Even where new wind farm installation slows, trends such as repowering and optimisation will continue to be important in driving returns and valuations for operating wind farm assets.
In order to continue its growth trajectory or to realise the value on existing projects, the wind power industry will compete in the highly competitive market for finance, a market which is increasingly careful in its scrutiny of the risks and returns of its competing investment options. As such, a knowledge of the financial models behind such decisions is of critical importance not just to those investing from outside, but also to those within the industry who are seeking to make and sell their business case.
