Destination Europe: Dawn of the ‘Offshore Wind’ Era
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – Oct. 28, 2010
WHEN:      Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010 at 11 a.m. EDT

SPEAKERS:   Sivapriya Ramakrishnan, Senior Research Analyst for Frost & Sullivan’s Business & Financial Services team.

Clean technology is a hot sector that is up for grabs. Investors are keen on evaluating the benefits of investing in various renewables, wind being no exception. Driven by Europe’s quest to expand its offshore wind operations, it has registered the largest regional growth in recent times causing heads to turn, particularly those of institutional investors. Despite being a relatively mature technology among renewables, wind energy is in the limelight, which in-turn has revived the interests of asset management companies and private equity investors.

Highlights of the briefing include a country-wise evaluation of wind energy potential and investment prospects, European market growth and projections, investment landscape and themes, market trends, industry challenges, assessment of attractiveness to venture capitalists and a future roadmap.

The briefing will benefit institutional and individual investors looking at opportunities in clean technologies, companies engaged in wind technologies and wind farm developers intending to secure funds in the near future. Market participants looking to understand wind energy prospects in the European region would also benefit from attending.

“From an almost non-existent offshore wind market in early 2000, cumulative wind installations in Europe accounted for 1.9 GW in 2009. Europe’s onshore potential has been sidelined due to the enormous opportunities present in offshore wind. Most of the investments are likely to be channeled towards offshore wind development and turbine manufacturers,” observes Research Analyst Sivapriya Ramakrishnan.
