Wind Power Market seeing increased risk and disruption

The wind power market has grown at a CAGR of 14% between 2010 and 2021 to reach 830 GW by end of 2021. This has largely been possible due to favourable government policies that have provided incentives to the sector. This has led to an increase in the share of wind in the capacity mix, going from a miniscule 4% in 2010 to 10% in 2021. This is further set to rise to 15% by 2030. However, the recent commodity price increase has hit the sector hard, increasing risks for wind turbine manufacturers and project developers, and the Russia-Ukraine crisis has caused further price increase and supply chain disruption. In light of this, GlobalData has identified which countries are expected to add the majority of wind power capacity out to 2030.

The companies have also agreed on the development of a transmission and distribution grid in Indonesia, in line with its government’s plans to expand power generation capacities by 35GW, by 2019. There are also further plans to expand transmission and distribution grids to secure the power supply of urban areas and improve the electricity access for other regions.

Siemens board member Roland Busch said: "Siemens is ready to support Indonesia’s ambitious energy infrastructure programme.

"With our broad portfolio and expertise we can help to develop a sustainable, affordable and modern power system.

"Siemens is ready to support Indonesia’s ambitious energy infrastructure programme."

"Furthermore, we can provide support with our expertise for project financing and we are ready to expand our manufacturing capabilities."

Currently, Indonesia’s energy supply is supported by several projects, such as the Jawa Power’s paiton II plant in East Java and the Simangkuk project at the Sumatera grid.

In addition, Siemens has been contracted by Eurus Energy to supply direct-drive wind turbines for an onshore windfarm in Japan.

The company will supply 13 units of the SWT-3.2-101 model, which are rated at 3.2MW each, for the 41.6MW Eurus Higashi Yurihara windpower plant.

The windfarm is expected to enter service in the spring of 2018. The contract also includes a five-year service and maintenance agreement.
