WORLDWIDE: The third Windpower Monthly Top 30 -- our annual review of key influencers -- reflects the rapid turnover in chief executives of some of the leading turbine manufacturers with Vestas, GE and Siemens all now headed by new and unfamiliar faces.
...The old guard's replacements, some of whom are new to the wind business, certainly face a testing time. The past 12 months have not been easy for the industry, and there is precious little sign of improvement on the horizon. The pace of growth has slowed markedly in China and India; Australia has elected an anti-wind administration; Europe remains plagued by policy uncertainty and sovereign debt; and the US is edging closer to the cliff signposted by the expiry of the production tax credit. If 2013 was tough, the brutal reality is that 2014 is likely to be tougher.
Our Top 30 also suggests the industry will have to weather this storm without much in the way of political support.......global energy policy is being driven by finance ministries rather than energy and environment departments. Wind energy does have its champions, but they are struggling to make their voices heard above the strident clamour of the anti-wind lobbies.
On a more positive note, perhaps, is the entry of two influencers from Latin America, a region where the industry is looking for continued growth in the light of policies that favour wind power.....
Aufzählung von einflussreichen Leuten:
an 2.Stelle nach Enercon
2. Anders Runevad
Vestas CEO
(new entry)
Manufacturer
New to the wind industry, the 53-year-old Swede takes control of a company that finally looks to be emerging from a non-stop round of financial, technical and legal problems. The next 12 months will see whether the former design engineer for telecoms firm Ericsson can provide the safe pair of hands that will prevent Vestas from hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
25. Günther Oettinger
European Commissioner for Energy
Political influence
First elected to political office in 1979 at the age of 26, Oettinger was appointed EC member responsible for energy in February 2010. Coordinating the energy policies of a bloc that now amounts to 28 nations, many of which are still reeling from the financial crash of 2008, is proving a formidable challenge. The wind industry awaits an EU decision later this year on limiting carbon emission certificates.
16. Wu Gang
Goldwind CEO
Manufacturer
China's largest wind turbine maker, and seventh in the world has adopted a prudent policy of late, focusing on improving product quality, cutting manufacturing costs and streamlining its management structure rather than all-out expansion. According to Gang, CEO since 2006, transitioning from "made in China" to "designed, engineered and created in China" is top priority.
9. Xie Changjun
Longyuan Power group president
Developer/utility
Longyuan overtook Iberdrola last year as the world's largest wind developer and, under Xie's leadership, shows few signs of slowing down any time soon. Overseas expansion, with North America, Australia, South Africa and the Middle East the main targets, is the group's key goal over the next few years.
7. Tulsi Tanti
Suzlon chairman
Manufacturer
It has been another difficult year for Tulsi Tanti's deeply indebted Suzlon Group. Yet the company has managed to hold on to German-based Repower and rearrange its debts through corporate restructuring in India. If it was not for an ongoing cost-cutting review, Suzlon could argue the worst is over. It is thanks to Repower that Tanti stands this high on the list and that Suzlon remains a top-five manufacturer.
