Eastern winds: emerging European wind power markets
1st February 2013
Topic(s): Renewables, Wind energy
Central, eastern and south-eastern Europe is Europe’s new wind energy frontier. Signicant growth, opportunity and benets can be expected from and for the region in the years ahead.
These newly emerged and emerging markets are not only important in their own right, but they have increased perceived importance given the state of wind energy markets elsewhere in Europe. These new markets look set to offset, to a greater or lesser extent, declines in the near future in some of the more mature southern European markets. It therefore becomes all the more important for the European wind energy industry that the newly emerged and emerging eastern European markets are able to achieve their full potential.

Delivering on the clean energy economy: The role of policy in developing sucessful domestic solar and wind industries
1st November 2012
Topic(s): Policy law and regulation, Renewables, Solar energy, Wind energy
This working paper emerges from a collaboration of five leading research institutions: World Resources Institute (WRI), Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), Öko Institut, Renmin University of China, and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), based in the target countries. Researchers at each institution reviewed and gathered information from domestic and international data sources to create a richly nuanced but still comparable review of the development of these industries.
The assessment attempts to uncover in particular how policymakers have cultivated successes. Countries have pursued a range of policies to accomplish these goals and there is now sufficient history in the solar PV and wind industries to begin to draw conclusions about whether countries have met their goals and what policy steps have been effective along the way.

This is the fourth edition of the 'Global Wind Energy Outlook'. The report looks at scenarios projecting to 2020, 2030, and 2050. The scenarios include development paths for the industry: the International Energy Agency’s ‘New Policies’ scenario, the Global Wind Energy Outlook Moderate scenario, and the Global Wind Energy Outlook Advanced scenario; and measures them against two different demand scenarios to define a range of possible futures for the sector, both regionally and globally.

The 3rd edition of the India Wind Energy Outlook is a joint publication by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the World Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE), and the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers’ Association (IWTMA). The report was launched at ‘Wind Power India 2012’, running between 28-30 November 2012, in Chennai. The India Wind Energy Outlook 2012 is the wind industry stakeholders’ contribution to the discourse on accelerating wind power development in India. Besides providing an overview of wind energy potential, manufacturing and investment prospects; the report provides insights into the challenges ahead, offering suggestions for overcoming hurdles to enable the domestic wind power sector to advance within a competitive, world-class and investor friendly environment.

Connecting the sun: solar photovoltaics on the road to large-scale grid integration
1st September 2012
Topic(s): Solar energy, Solar photovoltaics, Wind energy
This study aims to provide a holistic vision of how solar electricity will be integrated in the electricity system. It is based on new scenarios for the penetration of PV electricity in 2030. These scenarios have been combined with corresponding wind penetration scenarios. From there, a detailed analysis of balancing needs has been conducted for all 27 EU Member States in order to better understand system operation challenges. At distribution level, the study analyses the main constraints associated with high shares of distributed generation. It also considers the effect that grid integration costs will have on the overall competitiveness of PV against other forms of electricity.
