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 project is located near the community of Chetwynd in north-east British Columbia, Canada.

"This transaction creates a stable platform for long-term growth and allows Finavera to recycle capital and fund the ongoing development of its remaining portfolio of projects."

Finavera Wind Energy CEO Jason Bak said that the deal showed the significant asset value the company has created for shareholders and would provide a strong return on its investment in the development of wind energy for British Columbia.

"This transaction creates a stable platform for long-term growth and allows Finavera to recycle capital and fund the ongoing development of its remaining portfolio of projects," said Bak.

The project has a 25-year power purchase agreement with BC Hydro and is at an advanced stage of permitting.

The deal is subject to customary regulatory approvals and will take place within 60 days.

Both companies will work together to advance the project in the environmental assessment process and will pursue consultation with Finavera’s First Nation partners.
