Beijing | Brussels | London Wind power in Asia • …hard to generalize, but… • Asia is generally poor in fossil resources, but very rich in wind and solar, in particular; • Government led approach, not ideological, not climate driven, but practical, driven primarily by: • Energy security • Price stability • Industrial development • Rapidly growing power demand (RE fast to deploy) • Resource efficiency (esp. water) • Where wind gets a foothold, solar will follow; • Asia is the primary driver of global growth in the RE sector, and this will increasingly be the case for the coming 15-20 years.
Beijing | Brussels | London China • In 2012, wind surpassed nuclear as the third power source in China • Wind power potential is somewhere between 2.5 and 8 times total current electrical generation capacity • China has twice as much solar hot water heating capacity as the rest of the world combined…and solar PV is just starting to take off…
Beijing | Brussels | London India • Until recently, driven more by the private sector through tax law than direct government incentive; • Moving away from tax shelter towards IPPs and more economically based approach • Energy security, access and speed of installation key factors • Resource assessment recently more than doubled; and NREL assessment is 2-3 times total current installed capacity • Government now pushing solar as well

Beijing | Brussels | London Non OECD Asia (excl. China/India) • Taiwan – good resource, focussed on moving offshore to increase energy security and combat pollution; • Pakistan – excellent resource, energy hungry, strong pipeline despite security situation; • Philippines – excellent resource, finally sorting through some of the governance issues which have held the sector back; • Viet Nam – excellent resource, difficulties reconciling with private sector; • Mongolia – huge wind (and solar) resource, rapid GDP growth.
WIND ENERGY POTENTIALS Beijing | Brussels | London • Mongolia has potential to be a major wind power producer. • Mongolia has enormous wind power resources; • Good-to-excellent wind resources equivalent to 1,100 GW of wind electric potential. The about 10 percent of Mongolian territory have been estimated to have excellent wind potential as more than 300 W/m2 and have a possibility to build and utilize wind farm with a capacity of 30-100MW. This amount of windy land, using conservative assumptions could support over 1.1 million MW of installed capacity, and potentially deliver over 2.6 trillion kWh per year.
Beijing | Brussels | London SOLAR ENERGY ENERGY POTENTIAL • About 270-300 sunny days per year with an average sunlight duration of 2,250-3,300 hours are available in most of the territories of Mongolia. An annual average amount of solar energy is 1,400 kWh/m2/y with solar intensity of 4.3-4.7 kWh/m2 per day.

Beijing | Brussels | London Conclusions - Asian market driving global growth in RE sector; - Asia has excellent RE resources, esp. wind and sun - Asia is power hungry; - Market drivers all still in place, and increasingly prominent: energy security; cost stability; macroeconomic security; local economic development and job creation; local environment and climate; - Asia has few fossil resources except for Chinese (and Indian) coal, and it’s killing them – both literally and economically; - Post Fukushima, the shine has come off the nuclear genie; - Asia’s energy future seems to almost inevitably be renewable – but will it be in time?
