As the wind turbine market enters a new era driven by subsidy-free and tax-credit-free cost parity, a new generation of wind energy technology is poised to hit the market by 2020. Markets which are shifting towards a competitive tendering process continue to drive the need for higher annual energy production as well as lower capex, opex and levelised cost of electricity.By Philip Totaro, Founder and CEO, IntelStor, USA

With more than US$ 647 million of foreign direct investment in offshore wind project development and domestic supply chain ramp-up at stake, Taiwan risks losing its mantle as one of the hottest offshore wind energy markets in the world. At the heart of this is the change in the feed-in tariff, which could face a steep reduction.By Philip Totaro, Founder and CEO, IntelStor, USA

The era of auctions and tenders is well and truly upon the wind energy industry, and the supply chain is already starting to feel the pinch. Some companies have reported tighter and in some cases negative margins in their Q3 and Q4 quarterly financial disclosures as they reconcile their business with a largely subsidy-free era.By Philip Totaro, Founder and CEO, IntelStor

The largely anticipated release of the GE Haliade-X has set the offshore wind industry alight with the anticipated product responses from SGRE and MHI Vestas. However, with most Chinese OEMs still between 3 and 6.7MW in nameplate rating for their offshore wind turbines, what will they do next to compete on product evolution in the Chinese and other Asian offshore markets?- Category: Windtech Future
The supply chain in wind energy is feeling a profit margin squeeze from the global shift towards auctions/tenders. As a consequence, it is constantly seeking ways to cut costs and remain competitive. However, one key way in which many OEMs and component suppliers are missing the opportunity to save on capex costs is to leverage royalty free technology.By Philip Totaro, Founder & CEO, IntelStor

As global markets fluctuate in terms of capacity additions on an annual basis, and auctions/tenders threaten wind turbine OEM profitability, a few manufacturers have taken steps to ensure their survival. These steps involve a diversity of product mix and a modular product architecture which will allow them to more evenly distribute their global manufacturing while maximising supply chain cost efficiencies and also providing a mechanism for global sales.- Renewable Energy Digitalisation Growth Poised to Reap Benefits for the Data Rich
