Unfortunately,
Mother Nature has a
Mean Streak.
Fortunately, you have Sika.
Face it, Mother Nature doesn’t always play nice with wind turbines. High winds, hail, lightning,
snow, ice, and even birds can damage blades, reducing their capacity to perform. When that
happens, you need fast, reliable repair products and services that can get your turbines
back on line. That’s why the world’s leading wind turbine producers consistently
turn to Sika. Our expertise and experience in the wind energy industry are second
to none with a full range of repair products that consistently meet the industry’s
toughest specifications. You can’t stop Mother Nature when she gets mean,
but fortunately you have Sika to get turbines turning again.

2012, the WTO found these practices to be illegal and upheld
its ruling in May after an appeal was issued. Meanwhile, many
countries still incorporate similar rules in their incentive programs.
Renewable Energy World asked industry executives to share
their thoughts and insights on this controversial question:
Do domestic content rules, those that require projects to
use a certain amount of services or material that is produced
locally, help or hurt the renewable energy industry?

✺✺ The Big Question

investors and manufacturers. In the past decade, we have seen a number


of countries use policy mechanisms that include LCR provisions to promote
green industry.
Current over-capacity in wind turbine manufacturing means that ful-
fllment of LCRs merely exacerbates an already severe problem. Ideally, we
would like unfettered trade in renewable technologies, but we’re a long way
from that. But perhaps a middle ground could be found.
The LCR approach for promoting domestic production and employ-
ment opportunities can be brought about by a positive incentive scheme,
perhaps incentivizing manufacturing tax credits, or an adder on top of
the FIT for locally sourced components. But in the interim, the top-down
enforcement of LCR is likely to do more harm than good for both the local
and the international wind industry and our outlook for a sustainable
clean energy future.

ARE DOMESTIC CONTENT REQUIREMENTS (DCRs) good or


bad for the renewable energy industry? That depends, of
course, on who you ask. Either way, DCR is here to stay. A
protracted dispute over DCR with no clear resolution, how-
ever, will be bad for the industry in the long-term.
Whether we like it or not, DCR will be a defning fea-
Mark Bissegger ture of renewable energy procurement for the foresee-
Analyst, able future. Countries will always intervene to protect
ClearSky Advisors their own energy interests, and DCRs provide a per-
ceived beneft to the politicians and bureaucrats that
introduce them. Those benefts usually consist of some
combination of the following:
1. Cheaper/more reliable electricity during peak loads.
2. Increase domestically produced electricity for energy security.
3. Increase employment, innovation, and industry capabilities domestically.
4. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
DCRs generally increase costs (hurting #1 above) but help create employ-
ment and domestic energy capability (contributing to #2 and 3 above). As such,
in many jurisdictions, DCRs provide the necessary political impetus to pro-
mote local solar development, which, proponents argue, also helps #4 above.
Disputes over DCR may be necessary to protect interests and a natu-
ral element in energy trade. But disputes must be resolved in a reasonable
amount of time. If disputes over how countries can best protect their inter-
ests in renewable energy development and procurement are allowed to drag
on indefnitely, the resulting uncertainty will hurt the industry more than the
additional costs of DCRs ever could on its own.

The Big Question
✺✺
THE RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY is both global and local.
Individual communities seek the advantages of economic
development, jobs, growth of the tax base, and additional
revenue for schools, infrastructure and emergency servic-
es. The global community is focused on economic devel-
opment, but also sees the advantages of reduced carbon
Yogesh emissions that are blamed for climate change.
Khandelwal This is what makes the WTO ruling against Ontar-
President and io’s DCR so problematic. To advance the global goal of
CEO, geoAMPS increasing renewable energy, local needs and concerns
must be respected.
While some will argue that everyone should embrace
the benefts of renewable energy, the reality is that this is not the case. Wind
projects especially are opposed in some communities, even at the neighbor-
hood level. This can force lengthy project delays or abandonment. Adversarial
relationships won’t achieve ambitious goals for expanding renewable energy.
The WTO ruling jeopardizes Ontario’s robust program of installing more
than 5,600 MW of new wind energy by 2018. Ontario offcials say that the pro-
gram would create tens of thousands of jobs, attract $16.4 billion in private
investment and contribute more than $1.1 billion of revenue to municipalities
and landowners in the form of taxes and lease payments.
Ultimately, it will be local communities, not international intervention,
that drive the transition from reliance on fossil fuels to utilization of renew-
able sources to meet the increasing need for energy on a global scale. Local
benefts, such as those projected for Ontario, are real incentives to advancing
renewable energy, while the WTO’s ruling is restrictive.

CSP Key Players


Focus on the Desert
Power generation in hot, dry areas makes CSP a viable solution for
desert applications. By expanding into process heat and enhanced oil
recovery, the concentrating solar technology is running full steam ahead.
JENNIFER RUNYON, Managing Editor

By the end of 2013, the largest solar power plants in the world
will be generating power from the sun and they won’t be using
photovoltaic (PV) technology. Brightsource’s 277-MW Ivanpah
in California, Areva’s 250-MW project in Rajasthan, India and
many others are all set to come online by the end of the year.
The 100-MW Shams 1 project commenced operation in Abu
Dhabi in March. “The outlook for CSP has never been brighter,”
said Alison Mason, Director of Marketing at SkyFuel.
CSP technology captures solar energy through troughs
or mirrors (also called heliostats), which are set on track-
ers and concentrate the sunlight to generate power. Mainly
used in utility-scale power generation projects, the technolo-
gy also holds promise for other applications, including pro-
cess heat and enhanced oil recovery operations (see sidebar
on page 44). To date, however, the technology has struggled
to gain ground. Back in 2010, thousands of megawatts of
CSP projects were in the works, but that number was slowly targeting “all markets with

Doing Good by Doing Solar


In developed nations, we see solar power as an
alternative to conventional energy and a way to fght
climate change. But in poor countries solar reveals itself as
even more — as a way out of some of the world’s darkest
humanitarian problems. Here are some of the dramatic
ways solar is changing lives in places like Haiti and Africa.

a community that solar can solve. As a result, SELF has helped
develop drip irrigation systems for farming and brought mod-

and other life-changers to developing communities.
Malnutrition is widespread in the Kalalé District of Benin,
West Africa, where SELF began a pilot project in 2007. “There
we have managed to do something that is addressing a very,
very basic human need — and that is to eat,” Freling said. Sitting

Kalalé is considered to be one of the poorest parts of the
world. The 104,000 people who live in the district’s 44 villages

dry season when local food production comes to a near halt.

walking long distances to fll gourds with
water to irrigate the felds. The women
now spend half as much time watering.
“Prior to our intervention, these felds
were largely barren during the six-month
dry period. Now, year-round they are
growing all kinds of leafy green vegeta-
bles,” Freling said.
The families consume about one-ffth
of the food; the remainder can generate
income. As a result of the solar project, the
women have gained both economic and
psychological strength, exhibiting opti-
mism and a new entrepreneurial spirit,
according to Freling.
The organization has recently expanded
the pilot to eight additional villages in
Benin, and hopes the Solar Market Garden

US Wind Power:
The State of the
Market
Halfway through 2013, we’re taking a look at the U.S. wind
power market and where (and if) executives from major turbine
manufacturers expect to see progress this year and beyond. Opportunities
for growth do exist, but the market needs certainty to flourish.

JIM MONTGOMERY, Associate Editor

No doubt 2012 was a blowout year for wind energy in


the U.S. The final count showed that roughly 13 giga-
watts (GW) of new capacity was installed, represent-
ing more than 40 percent of all energy installed in the
country during the year. Nine states now get 10 per-
cent or more of their electricity from wind, according
to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA).
But keep in mind, more than half of that surge of
wind energy capacity came in the final weeks of 2012
in a rush to get projects completed ahead of the expir-
ing production tax credit (PTC), and some of that was
pulled in from 2013 planning. The PTC’s uncertainty
and eventual last-minute renewal, and clarifications
recently issued about its minimum qualification cri-
teria, have set the stage for 2013 to start off slow and
rev up again later this year, though likely nowhere
near 2012’s surge.
Even so, the U.S. ranks “number one or number
two” for the best growth market of any region for wind
energy, proclaimed Chris Brown, sales president for
the U.S. and Canada for wind turbine OEM Vestas.

energy business, which does large chunk of its wind

aggressive renewable energy invested around $4 billion in the state, and this spring pledged to
spend another $1.9 billion for 1 GW of additional capac-
ity there. The rate-regulated utility expects to own and
operate more than 3.3 GW of wind generation capacity
in Iowa by January 2016, and could generate more than
a third of its power through wind, according to a com-
pany spokesperson.
“New England has some challenges,” offered Dave
Wilby, First Wind’s VP of state policy, speaking in a
panel discussion at the AWEA Windpower conference in
Chicago in early May. “Siting is tough [and] the resources
are not close to the load.” Nevertheless, looking several
years out, he foresees the potential for a handful of very
large wind PPAs across the Northeastern states.
Another market trend is in projects that seek to tap
slower wind speeds, with newer turbine technologies
built specifically to take advantage of them. While this
opens up new development areas, eventually these will
require acceptance of a different price point, Brown
pointed out. “We have to think where we can make the

Brown agrees. “Right now nobody’s look-

Financing India’s
Small Hydro
Capacity
Project investment in India is facing a number of challenges,
not least of which are prohibitively high interest rates. However,
there are opportunities to develop successful small hydropower
projects based on cash fow, a detailed due diligence and realistic
expectations from both developers and their backers.

DAVID APPLEYARD, Chief Editor

India’s scope for hydropower development is vast.


Close to 150 GW of theoretical potential exists in
the country today, with an estimated 84 GW of eco-
nomically exploitable capacity, according to fgures
from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA). Simul-
taneously, there is a large population of rural poor
with no access to grid electricity, an existing peak
load defcit estimate at around 10 percent and a rap-
idly growing economy — and with it an associated
increase in power demand.
Indeed, India’s economy reportedly grew at its slow-
est pace in a decade during the 2012-2013 fnancial
year, but still clocked up a 5 percent growth rate over
the year. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh report-
edly expressed confdence that the country’s economy
would bounce back to an “8 percent growth rate.”
CEA projects electricity demand to increase by
around 40 percent by 2016-2017 and just about dou-
ble by 2021-2022.
However, there are a number of structural issues
that impact on the country’s ability to develop large
capital-intensive projects like large-scale hydropower
