Wind Energy Companies have grown substantially in recent years

June 4th, 2010

Over the last seven years wind energy has grown a mega 482% and the international wind energy companies have compounded an annual growth rate of 29%. It has been predicted that this industry will grow 215% from 84,950MW to 267,850MW between 2007 and 2012 which is a staggering growth rate. One needs to seek out the best wind energy companies especially those that are doubling in size around every four years as these are the companies worth investing in. And the way to find these wind energy companies is to look at which countries are currently boosting the highest yearly growth with regards to the wind industry. Here are some of the countries depicting the fastest growth rates such as Turkey which has a growth rate of 95% and China 54%, Brazil 61%, Mexico 84% and Poland 60%. And the largest growth rates in terms of megawatt capacity are Germany with a capacity of 35,900MW, India 26,000MW, Spain 36,800MW, China 51,000MW and the USA 45,500MW. Now all that one really has to do is single out the largest company and invest. Let us look at each country individually and all the large wind energy companies within each country.

In China you have Goldwind Science and Technology, Sinovel Windtec Company, Vestas Wind Systems, GE Energy, Dongfang Electric Corporation, Gamesa Corporation Technologies and Suzion Energy Ltd. The average price per KW is $1,008 and for example Vestas is getting $1,628. Now let us look at which wind energy companies we have on the domestic market. There is Nordex, Clipper, Siemens, GE energy and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. One needs to also look at which are the biggest wind energy companies that have the biggest wind farms worldwide. Here are six wind energy companies – British Petroleum, Naikun Wind, Clipper Windpower, Suez, RWE group and Vattenfall. These are all the very top wind energy companies which all feature on the stock market and it has been predicted that there will be many more companies emerging in the very near future as these existing wind energy companies are not able to saturate the demand of wind energy or any of the other related services and products alone.

Green wind energy is an effective alternative

December 23rd, 2009

Choosing green wind energy as an alternative source of power is an effective alternative to some of the more harmful methods that are currently being used. Presently the most prominent ways of generating power are through coal and nuclear reactors both of release harmful by-products that affect the environment in a negative way. Coal burning releases large amounts of carbon monoxide and other green house gases into the atmosphere, and the left over waste from the depleted uranium is difficult to dispose of safely.

Wind energy on the other hand uses the earth’s natural resource and unlimited resource of the wind to create energy in an efficient and environment friendly way. Specialized wind turbines are modified to generate electricity from the spinning propeller-like wind mills. As the wind blows the turning motion activates an internal dynamo that then creates electricity in the same fashion as water does for a hydro-electric dam. Creating vast arrays of these turbines has a two-fold effect in increasing the energy, as they end up increasing the wind flow as the air moves across the array, and in so doing increases the amount of energy produces by subsequent rows of turbines. The result is a marked increase in the amount produced, and it even applies when there is no wind at all. Most of the technically advanced countries around the world are turning to wind energy as a source of power. In fact some of them have even built the turbines in the ocean where the winds are the strongest for that particular region. With the changes in technology people are now able to access this resource on an individual level; it is no longer limited to big industrious companies or entire governments. You can purchase your very own wind turbine to build at your home and it will start generating power for you immediately. In fact, if you take a look online you may even find a couple ways to build them on your own. If you don’t happen to be the hands on type, then you can purchase one for your home and have it installed. By visiting sites like GreenSupplyEnergy.com for example, you can get all the info that you need on these types of products and you can make your switch to green wind energy right away.
