Dong Energy, who I’ve posted about in the past, is a Danish wind energy company with work in Northern Europe that is quickly expanding. It is one of many energy companies that are bidding down the costs of wind farms. In Germany, there was a first no-subsidy bid awarded to the company EnBW. Critics of wind energy are skeptical if renewables can exist without government subsidies. Hopefully Dong Energy and other traditional energy companies like Royal Dutch Shell who have wind deals can prove that wind is a viable, long term energy source.
The costs of wind and other renewables are being driven down by technology from multinational companies like GE and Siemens, and installed by global companies like Dong Energy. The transition to renewables is a global affair with the cooperation of technology, innovation, and policy from companies and governments.
