North American Wind Energy Copper Content Analysis

June 22, 2018

The global wind industry installed just under 52 gigawatts (GW) in 2017 with 51.9 GW installed. The United States saw over 7 GW installed and reached over 89 GW of cumulative capacity, second only to China. The US is in the early stage of a major acceleration in wind plant construction expected to peak in year 2020 as tax credits are slowly phased out and their value reduced each year, with 2023 the last year that wind plants are eligible for reduced level tax credits.

NIGERIA LEADING AFRICA TO NET ZERO

whitePaper | October 28, 2022

BY 2030 Nigeria reaches its 30-30-30 target, which means 30 GW of grid-connected capacity by 2030 of which 30% comes from renewables. The amount of unserved energy drops significantly in the later part of the decade, which means that a much larger portion of the population now has access to electricity. A lot of flexibility has been added to the power system thanks to ICE technology. The system is now ready to accommodate the massive renewable energy deployment planned in the 2031-2040 decade. Our model reveals that reaching the 30-30-30 target in the most cost-effective way will require $18.7 Billion of investment.

The Great Industrial Repositioning Planning for Corporate Impact and how to Navigate the (Energy) Crisis

whitePaper | November 12, 2022

The phrase ‘perfect storm’ may be a bit over-used lately, but it does accurately describe the situation that European industries are currently in. Several economic and political developments have led to this perfect storm. The COVID-19 crisis has boosted demand, while on the other hand supply chains are struggling to get back up to speed. On top of that, gas prices recently reached an extraordinary high in Europe and high energy prices are pushing up manufacturing cost. Demand for both energy and goods is predicted to remain strong due to high purchase power that is fuelled by low unemployment rates and a surplus of savings, putting extra pressure on scarce supplies. In addition, inflation rates are at an unprecedented level and central banks are fighting inflation by increasing base interest rates.
