2001: The “awakening”

Portugal launches energy policy centered on:

Encouraging Energy Efficiency

Large-scale use of Portugal’s vast Endogenous &

Renewable Energy potential

Wind Sun Biomass

Mature & competitive technology

65% average annual growth 1999-2006

2008:

2858 MW

Wind Energy leads the growth 2012:

>5000 MW

How to proceed to the next level and

transform wind energy into an essential

component of the Portuguese energy mix

- and of the Portuguese economy?

The 2005-2006 public tender

provides interconnection rights for new wind farms,

under the condition that:

A new industrial cluster be created, bringing

investment, employment and technology transfer to Portugal

New solutions be developed to exploit thewind resource more efficiently, namely

dispatch centres, prevision models and storagesolutions

The Cluster: Porter’s Concept

Surrounding Factors: Infrastructures, I&D

• Based on Porter’s Diamond

• Group of closely-related companies

• Maximises efficiency and added value

• Constitutes an efficient strategy in high-tech sectors

Creating Synergies

Enercon’s lasting contribution

As the world leader in wind energy technology

development, Enercon’s contribution to the success of

the Portuguese industrial cluster was considerable:

Adhering fully to the concept and challenge of creating

an industrial cluster

Federating companies, knowledge and skills around

this endeavor

Performing an unprecedented process of technology

transfer

Technology Transfer / R&D

Integral production of the E-82 in Portugal (blades, generator, e-module, tower)

New R&D and training centres

Portuguese personnel sent to Germany for advanced training

48 new wind farms, 1200 MW

2700 GWh/yr of electricity, i.e. supply equivalent to more than

2,3m domestic consumers

25% of the portuguese wind

energy production in 2011

Results (1): A new expansion

phase for wind energy

Results (2): A tremendous boostfor the Portuguese economy

Total Investment € 1700 m

Total Added Value € 286 m per year

Job Creations 1 800 direct, 5 500 indirect

Balance of

Exports > 60% of the production (€200m per year from 2010)

Avoided gas imports > € 100 m per year

Avoided purchase of

CO2 certificates€ 24 m per year

Local Development Local taxes € 5 m per year

Land rents € 3,4 m per year

Results (3): A true change of paradigm

In addition to the environmental benefits, wind energy

provides jobs, economic growth and activity to dozens

of Portuguese companies
