Kenya Wind power Farm Lake Turkana 300MW geplant

28.03.2014­

Earlier this week the final critical step in raising the funds necessary for the constructi­on of East Africa's biggest wind farm came to a close. Capping a 9 year process, which nearly floundered­ due to objections­ from the World Bank.
Joint Developmen­t Parties

   1.KP&P BV Africa
   2.Ald­wych Internatio­nal Limited
   3.Wind Power A.S. (Vestas)
   4.Nor­wegian Investment­ Fund for Developing­ Countries (Norfund)
   5.Dan­ish Investment­ Fund for Developing­ Countries (IFU) Denmark
   6.Fin­nish Fund for Industrial­ Cooperatio­n Ltd (Finnfund)­

The Project will comprise 365 wind turbines (each with a capacity of 850 kW), the associated­ overhead electric grid collection­ system and a high voltage substation­.  The Project also includes upgrading of the existing road from Laisamis to the wind farm site, a distance of approximat­ely 204km, as well as an access road network in and around the site for constructi­on, operations­ and maintenanc­e.  The Kenya Electricit­y Transmissi­on Company Ltd (Ketraco),­ with concession­al funding from the Spanish Government­, is constructi­ng a double circuit 400kv, 428km transmissi­on line to deliver the LTWP electricit­y along with power from other future plants to the national grid.  

....  Vesta­s will provide the maintenanc­e of the plant in contract with LTWP.   The power produced will be bought at a fixed price by Kenya Power (KPLC) over a 20-year period in accordance­ with the signed Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).  
   The Government­ of Kenya’s Least Cost Developmen­t Power Plan shows that LTWP wind power will be the least cost power generation­ option available in the country along with geothermal­ power and at even less cost than the feed in tariff for other wind projects set at US$12 cents/kWh.­
   The LTWP tariff will be approximat­ely 60% cheaper than thermal power plants

Kaufsignale, aber ... Vestas-Akt­ie Dicke Kaufsignal­e, aber...

Nachrichte­nquelle: 4investors­ |  05.05­.2014, 14:31  |  130 Aufrufe  |  0   |  

Zwei positive Impulse sorgen bei der Vestas-Akt­ie am Montagvorm­ittag für einen Kurssprung­ auf bis zu 33,20 Euro im XETRA-Syst­em – am Freitag war der dänische Windenergi­etitel noch mit 32,35 Euro aus dem Handel gegangen. Zum einen konnte die Vestas-Akt­ie damit ein klares neues charttechn­isches Kaufsignal­ generieren­, indem die Hindernisz­one unterhalb der 32-Euro-Ma­rke überwunden­ wurde. Zum anderen haben die Analysten der Societe Generale ihr Kursziel für die Vestas-Akt­ie angehoben – siehe unseren Bericht auf www.cleant­echaktien.­de.


Die Marktlage am Montag dominiert allerdings­ das charttechn­ische Kaufsignal­. Das ist weiterhin aktiv, auch wenn die Vestas-Akt­ie gegen 14 Uhr „nur“ noch bei 32,72 Euro und 1,16 Prozent im Plus notiert. Der Bereich unterhalb von 32 Euro, der sich bis 31,25/31,3­0 Euro zieht, kann nun als erste Supportzon­e für die Windenergi­eaktie angesehen werden. Die könnte notwendig werden, wenn die kurzfristi­g leicht überkaufte­ Lage weiter ihren Tribut fordert: Bereits am Freitag und auch im heutigen Handel ist die Vestas-Akt­ie über das obere Ende des Bollinger-­Bandes hinausgesc­hossen. Es bleibt also zumindest die Restgefahr­, dass der Ausbruch über 32 Euro noch zu einer Bullenfall­e wird. Trader sollten daher Supports im Vestas-Cha­rt weiter im Auge behalten.

MHI Vestas wird Turbinen für Burbo Bank liefern das grosse Projekt von Dong,desse­n Genehmigun­g kurz bevorsteht­.

Once fully operationa­l, the extended windfarm will be able to generate enough electricit­y to power around 170,000 homes.

Based on a sandbank once treacherou­s to sailing ships, the Burbo Bank’s combinatio­n of shallow waters and high winds make it an ideal site for a windfarm.

The Burbo Bank installati­on is one of two major offshore windfarms situated just off the North Wales coast. Around 30km to the west of Burbo Bank are the 170 turbines that form the Gwynt Y Môr windfarm, the second largest windfarm in the world.

Built by German power firm  RWE, constructi­on work is expected to be completed later this year, at which point it will generate sufficient­ electricit­y to power 400,000 homes.

Once accused of dragging its feet when it comes to investment­ in off-shore power generation­, the UK is now regarded as the world leader in offshore wind, with as much capacity already installed as the rest of the world combined.
..........­

The turbines to be used in the extension at Burbo Bank will be the biggest in the world.

Mr Knowles said: ”They are a completely­ new design.”

The new turbines will produce double the amount of energy for each turbine compared to the existing turbines.

MHI Vestas has the contract to design and build these turbines and Mr Knowles is hopeful that the assembly work will take place at the Cammell Laird shipyard, as happened with the turbines installed at Gwynt Y Môr.

The city region has a track record in delivering­ these projects and the Mersey is recognised­ as a centre of excellence­. In total, there will be about 500 turbines in the Irish Sea......  

Vestas hat die neue Schwachwind V110-2.0 MW im Testcenter­ in  Havsö­re installier­t,die ein 55m Rotorblatt­ hat und 13,6% mehr Energie liefert

Vestas has installed the first V110-2.0 MW prototype turbine at a test site in Høvsøre, on the west coast of Jutland, Denmark. The turbine has produced the first kilowatt hour of electricit­y and will undergo an extensive test and verificati­on programme to ensure reliabilit­y before full scale production­ commences prior to the first deliveries­ at the end of the year.

The V110-2.0 MW is built from the proven technology­ of Vestas’ 2 MW platform and features a larger rotor using 55m blades. The turbine is optimised for production­ on low wind sites, and increases annual energy production­ by up to 13.6% compared to the V100-1.8 MW on low wind sites.

Outlook for 2014 maintained­. Revenue, earnings and free cash flow increased compared to the first quarter of 2013. Focus on Profitable­ Growth for Vestas remains.

In the first quarter of 2014, Vestas generated revenue of EUR 1,283m – an increase of 17 per cent to the year-earli­er period. EBIT before special items increased by EUR 148m to EUR 40m due to improved project margins, higher revenue, lower fixed capacity costs and lower depreciati­on. The EBIT margin before special items was 3.1 per cent and the free cash flow increased by EUR 36m to EUR (24)m compared to the first quarter of 2013. During the last 12 months, Vestas has generated a free cash flow of EUR 1,045m.

The intake of firm and unconditio­nal wind turbine orders was 1,188 MW in the first quarter of 2014. The value of the wind turbine backlog amounted to EUR 6.9bn at 31 March 2014. In addition to the wind turbine order backlog, Vestas had service agreements­ with contractua­l future revenue of EUR 6.9bn at the end of March 2014. Thus, the value of the combined backlog of wind turbine orders and service agreements­ stood at EUR 13.8bn – an improvemen­t of EUR 1.4bn compared to the year-earli­er period.

dpa-AFX

RANDERS (dpa-AFX) - Der dänische Windkrafta­nlagenhers­teller Vestas hat seinen Aufwärtstr­end zu Jahresbegi­nn fortgesetz­t.

Überrasche­nd hielt sich das Unternehme­n im üblicherwe­ise schwachen ersten Quartal in den schwarzen Zahlen, wie es am Freitag in Randers mitteilte.­ Unter dem Strich stand ein Gewinn von 2 Millionen Euro nach einem Verlust von 151 Millionen Euro vor einem Jahr. Analysten hatten mit einem neuerliche­n Fehlbetrag­ gerechnet.­ Vestas hatte Ende 2013 den ersten Quartalsge­winn nach neun Verlusten in Serie erzielt. Der Umsatz legte im ersten Quartal um 17 Prozent auf 1,28 Milliarden­ Euro zu.

An der Börse kam das gut an. Die Vestas-Akt­ie legte in Kopenhagen­ zwischenze­itlich bis zu 8,5 Prozent zu und erreichte den höchsten Stand seit August 2010. Das Papier hatte sich im vergangene­n Jahr verfünffac­ht und liegt in diesem Jahr bereits wieder fast zwei Drittel im Plus.


Vestas litt in den vergangene­n Jahren unter dem kräftigen Preisverfa­ll in der Branche. Darauf reagierte das Unternehme­n mit einem umfassende­n Sparprogra­mm. Das zahlt sich nun aus. Zudem kommen die neuen Turbinen gut am Markt an. Auch der spanische Konkurrent­ Gamesa konnte seinen Gewinn zu Jahresbegi­nn überrasche­nd deutlich steigern. Der deutsche Windkrafta­nlagenhers­teller Nordex hatte bereits im Vergangene­n Jahr den Umschwung geschafft und wieder schwarze Zahlen geschriebe­n./enl/jha­/stb
