Wind energy for
sustainable development
Why wind?
As we consume more and more at one end of the
spectrum, an enormous percentage of the world's
population lacks access to energy to meet its most basic
needs. Approximately 1.5 billion people do not have access
to reliable and affordable energy supplies. For them there
is no electricity for lights, everyday appliances to pump
water or the equipment to attend to basic healthcare.
Providing energy to those deprived will greatly enhance
their quality of life and, in many cases, ensure survival.
Food and water are the most basic human needs but
energy is the enabler. Energy is an intrinsic part of every
solution designed to improve quality of lives.
One answer lies in the abundant and renewable natural
resources the planet offers.
Windmills date back to 600 AD. They were first used to
grind grains. These early windmills evolved through the
centuries and by the late 1800s they were widely used. A
century and a half later, wind power has spread across the
world. Commercial wind farms now operate in nearly 80
countries and provide increased energy security; stable
power prices; and sustainable economic, ecological and
social development bringing investment and hundreds of
thousands of jobs. Wind power can significantly reduce
dependence on imported fuels, which in turn improves air
quality. Each megawatt (MW) installed can cut almost
1,700 tonnes of CO emissions every year. That's the
2
equivalent to planting 85,000 trees.
Wind energy has a key advantage over many other
electricity generation sources. It is totally independent of
fossil fuel price shocks and shortages. When we look at the
big picture, wind scores even higher with none of the
environmental impacts of conventional fuels. With rapid
technological advances, the cost of wind power has
dropped to nearly one-fifth of its cost in the 1980s. This
trend will continue with next generation materials and
ever-more efficient turbine designs.
As policy makers look to develop power sources to meet
the world's rapidly growing needs they have several
choices to make to balance short-term costs and longer-
term sustainability.

Wind is still to exercise even a fraction
of its potential. Average annual global
power consumption currently stands at
*
15 terawatt (TW). Global wind power
**
capacity alone is 72 TW. Renewable
energy is not only the solution to our
depleting fossil fuels. It is also the way we
can create a healthier planet and mitigate
the perils of catastrophic climate change.
Wind offers the opportunity to generate
clean, sustainable power the world over,
bringing energy security and improving the
lives of people everywhere.

Offshore overview
Wind resources over the seas are immense. The
potential to tap and convert that wind to energy is
staggering. As the speed of offshore wind is much
higher than it is onshore, the energy that can be
generated from it is greater. It requires complex and
cutting-edge technology, as well as supreme project
construction and management skills, to install giant
wind turbines onto the seabed.
Offshore wind farms allow policymakers to develop
large-scale renewable power production and meet
renewable energy targets. The offshore market has
grown rapidly in recent years and is expected to grow by
a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 40 per
cent between 2010 and 2015, to reach 26 GW of
installed capacity by 2015*.
Development of renewables in northern Europe is
expected to be huge and offshore wind will constitute
around 20 per cent of European wind power by 2015. The
European offshore market will primarily be driven by
projects in the UK and Germany. The two countries have
extensive project pipelines and will account for around
50 per cent of new offshore installations until 2015.
REpower, the Suzlon Group company with offshore
expertise, is well positioned to exploit this wave of
growth. REpower produces a 6.15 MW turbine, currently
the largest commercially available turbine in the world.
As more and more onshore wind sites become saturated
and the demand for clean energy increases, more
countries will develop offshore wind power
installations.

North America
The USA is one of the largest wind energy market in the
world with immense potential for future growth. Recent
economic turbulence has temporarily slowed down the
pace of growth here, but in the coming years this market is
set to be one of the most robust in the world.
Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation has over 2,500 MW of
installed capacity in North America. When combined with
REpower's capacity, the total installed base in North
America becomes 3,400 MW.
The Group's presence in the USA is through Suzlon and
REpower. In the offshore-led market REpower has a solid
footprint.
Suzlon installed its first wind turbines in south-west
Minnesota in 2004, which later became home to Suzlon's
first blade manufacturing facility outside of India. Suzlon
Wind Energy Corporation, the subsidiary headquartered in
Chicago, has more than 70 wind projects across the United
States.
REpower Systems SE has wholly-owned subsidiaries
REpower USA Corp., located in Denver, Colorado and
REpower Systems Inc., located in Montreal, Canada, to
cater for North America. Both companies were founded in
2007 to take advantage of the growing wind industry in the
midwest and west of the United States and Canadian
markets.
The Group employs more than 530 people and has nearly
3,000 MW of installed capacity across North America.
