Editor's Notes
- #3 Finishing up late-stage development of two 10 MW wind farms in Montana Installing small wind farms in Pakistan, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Australia, and Chile (in partnership with Mainstream) Goldwind USA: continue to win in the Americas
- #4 General: Competition from non-Chinese incumbents: General Electric Culture changes: selling wind energy in US is not like selling it in China US wind industry’s growth rates is on the decline since 2008 Lack of a first-mover advantage in the United States Goldwind’s operational experience in China is not valid for US customers Technical: Wind power cannot achieve grid parity Government: Reduced overall demand for energy led to lower prices for natural gas and other conventional power generation sources, making it difficult for wind power to compete Lack of long-term government incentive to wind energy producers No stable policy framework for wind sector in the US (uncertain future of wind regulation) Raised tariffs against imports of wind towers from China
- #5 General: As a subsidiary of a Goldwind parent company: Goldwind is 2nd in world market share for wind power with 9.4% in 2010 Team: people with solid US wind industry experience combined with successful track record of working in a cross-cultural environment Supplier strategy in the United States Expected to complete GL’s 100 turbine operating years standard by the beginning of 2013 to be commercially proven in the United States Technical 3 International R&D centers (2 in China, 1 in Germany) Cutting-edge Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) technology Excellent technological and operational capabilities and 2 decades into the experience curve Turbines can work in more extreme weather conditions than found in the USA Financial Strong financial position Government Policies Improved brand image through partnerships with Mainstream and creation of jobs in the U.S. Enablers: As a subsidiary of a Goldwind parent company: 3 International R&D centers (2 in China, 1 in Germany) Goldwind is 2nd in world market share for wind power with 9.4% in 2010 Strong financial position Cutting-edge Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD) technology Team: people with solid US wind industry experience combined with successful track record of working in a cross-cultural environment Supplier strategy in the United States Improved brand image through partnerships with Mainstream and creation of jobs in the U.S. Excellent technological and operational capabilities and 2 decades into the experience curve Turbines can work in more extreme weather conditions than found in the USA Expected to complete GL’s 100 turbine operating years standard by the beginning of 2013 to be commercially proven in the United States
- #6 How can Goldwind USA capture a bigger portion of the wind turbine market in the United States?
- #9 Reduced Government Subsidaries: The U.S. government passed the tax law expiring tax credit for clean energy, meaning less or no government subsidies. “Goldwind had banking relationships in China to backfill lack of debt, but it was much tougher to replace government subsidies.” The Chinese government cut subsidies for its wind sector six months after the US government filed a complaint with the WTO that China had provided illegal grants to Chinese wind companies since 2008. Increased Tariffs: In December 2011, the U.S. Wind Tower Trade Coalition (WTTC) lobbied the U.S. government to raise tariffs against imports of wind towers from China.
- #10 Goldwind entered the U.S. in 2010. American economy is recovering from the 2008 economic crisis. Clean energy adoption becomes the top priority in the agenda of economy development.
- #11 Goldwind is a symbol that China is moving towards Green Power as their economy develops. This is not only beneficial to the Chinese citizens but also to China’s image among other nations.
- #15 Parts of the wind turbines are sourced locally Due to the recession of 2008, the U.S. suppliers were actually offering reduced rates that made them more attractive than the Chinese suppliers. Goldwind USA has well-established relationships with some of the leading wind turbine component suppliers in the U.S. Concentration Switching Costs Is supplier product crucial? Vertical Integration
- #16 Utility companies are oligopolies in the US. Example: Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, Florida Power & Light, etc. Unwilling to adopt clean energy
- #17 Many other wind turbine companies entered the US market from 2010 to 2011 Barriers= regulations, technological capabilities, financial support
- #18 In contrast to China, where a handful of vertically integrated regional monopolies dominated the power sector, power generation in the United States was extremely diverse and fragmented. Fossil fuels are wider known among the population. Other renewable energy sources such as biomass or solar.
- #22 Strong financial and capital capabilities: cash flow Ability to offer secure financing to wind companies in the US Manuf- Cost-efficient manufacturing excellence with focus on quality and reliability
- #23 PMDD technology (Acquisition of Vensys) Most experience and best of providing direct drive technology versus competitors (Germany’s Enercon and Siemens, through its German subsidiary Vensys) Uses rare earth metal neodymium for its permanent magnets Goldwind continues to innovate in ways that permitted reductions in the neodymium content without sacrificing efficiency to save costs Higher power output compared to metals used by competitors Strong US suppliers network and strategy Most locally sourced turbine company in the United States: positive brand image Reduce skepticism surrounding Chinese quality, improves logistics and reduce lead time overseas and transportation costs, also allows suppliers to visit site for troubleshooting needs. Innovative capabilities and capacity to enter new product segments Turbines can work in harsher weather conditions: Chinese deserts and tundra more extreme than found in Europe and the Americas Go offshore Sites with low wind speed, high altitude, or low temperature conditions Currently developing blades much larger than industry average
- #25 Globalization strategy: Adapt operations in USA to maximize effectiveness CAGE Distance Framework: Cultural: different languages, ethnicities, and values; lack of connective ethnic or social networks Administrative: differences in political and governmental systems in terms of the wind industry Geographic: physical distance between China and the U.S.; no common land border, differences in climates, time-zones, and geographic size and population Economic: differences in consumer incomes and economic size, availability of human, financial, and natural resources, infrastructure, distribution networks, and organizational capabilities What should Goldwind do now? Continue to adapt Emphasize economic arbitrage: Leverage differences in labor and capital costs, and costs of knowledge inputs R&D locations are in Germany and China Leverage resources available in the United States Higher incomes in U.S. = selling wind solutions at higher prices will not impact consumer interests as much as in China U.S own supplier network instead of aggregating or adapting China’s supplier network Emphasize geographic arbitrage: Leverage differences in climates to enhance performance of wind solutions Goldwind has exceptional wind capacity wind capabilities with thousands MW under its belt from Chinese operations Locally sourcing wind product components within the United States By sticking to our expertise we can establish a better brand image and thus expand to larger wind projects in the United States.
- #26 Bring exceptional capability for MW capacity in China to U.S. wind projects Expand to more states: highest rankings for installed wind capacity in 2012 California Texas Iowa Illinois Focus on larger wind farms in a few places Easier to manage than small geographically dispersed projects with multiple customers Focus on a small capable team building large projects Differentiate through providing exceptional customer service including after-sales service
- #27 Differentiate through providing exceptional customer service including after-sales service Wind farm financing and development Wind turbine manufacturing and R&D Wind farm management services Leverage synergies in R&D between China, U.S., and other countries Goldwind is in and leverage financing capabilities by diversifying profits among these wind solutions Look at all points of the wind value-chain: wind-farm developers, wind power distributors, potential buyers or financiers of wind farms, utilities, and even regulators to tailor project-specific solutions that enhance the market potential of Goldwind’s products. Focus on innovation: product specialization Design products for specific challenging weather environments Based on temperatures, altitudes, wind speed, offshore, coastal/intertidal e
- #28 Keep and emphasize novel advertising campaigns Contrast industry-standard bland images of machinery Demonstrate brand personality that project Goldwind’s human elements, product quality, and company’s integrity Continue partnering with established companies in the wind industry i.e. Mainstream and the Shady Oaks project Work with partners who are willing to take a risk on Goldwind and in turn, get the right compensation for it Get prospective customers to agree that Goldwind is the best option for them relative to established non-Chinese incumbents
