Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy ____________________________________________________________________________________________ With over €36 million, Germany is by far the World’s leader in term of R&D public support for wind energy, ahead of the US, UK and Denmark. The contribution of the European Commission through its 6th Framework Program was estimated at around €11.6 million. A group of countries including the Netherlands, Italy, Finland, Sweden and France are reported to have spent between €1 and €7 million. All other Member States covered by IEA statistics invested well below €1 million. Venture capital and corporate spending According to the Annual Review of the Cleantech Group, wind R&D saw an impressive increase in venture capital investments in Europe and Israël12 in 2008 with an estimated growth of 294%. Europe and Israel accounted for almost two third of global VC investment in wind, or $323 million. The largest part of these investments went to the development of turbines. The shift of venture capital in wind from wind park development to turbine development can be explained by the maturing know-how of wind park development. Of the technologies that are being looked at in the JRC reference report [JRC-IPTS 2009c], wind has the highest amount of corporate R&D expenditure, reaching €292 million in 2007, up by over 20% in comparison to 2006. This comes to a R&D intensity of the sector of 0.6% to 3.7%. A large part of the investments comes from companies that are exclusively or largely active in wind energy, such as Vestas, Gamesa, RE Power, Nordex and Clipper Windpower. R&D investments in all these companies grew significantly in 2008 compared to 2007, especially in Clipper Windpower, RE Power and Vestas which show rates of growth of 113.7%, 63.5% and 87.4% respectively. Table 13: R&D investment pattern of the major wind companies Company Country R&D investment [million EUR] 2008 Change 2008/2007 R&D intensity 2008 Vestas Denmark 223.00 +87.4% 3.7% Gamesa Spain 32.06 +3.7% 0.8% RE Power Systems (now part of Suzlon Energy, India) Germany 21.88 +63.5% 1.8% Nordex Germany 20.87 +21.1% 1.8% Clipper Windpower UK 15.49 +113.7 2.9% Source: [JRC-IPTS 2009b] Needs in R&D funding In its Strategic Research Agenda published back in 2008, the European Wind Energy Technology Platform calls for significant R&D investments on wind technology in order to simultaneously comply with the objective set in Barcelona by the European Council in 2002 to invest 3% of annual turnover into R&D activities on the one hand and with the 20% renewable energy target by 2020 on the other. In terms of budget this means investing an average of €430 million per year in wind energy R&D. 12 Unfortunately the Annual Review of the Cleantech Group does not provide any detailed information for Europe but aggregate figures for Europe and Israel.
