      Competitive Landscape Brief

      Demand for wind power generation is driven by public support for alternative, nonpolluting renewable energy production methods, and government incentives that encourage the production and use of renewable energy. Profitability of individual companies depends on strategically locating wind farms in geographies with sufficient wind conditions and access to electric transmission facilities. Large companies often have other energy holdings (such as traditional electricity generation plants and energy distribution operations), enjoy economies of scale in equipment purchasing, and can serve a broader geographic area. Small companies can compete effectively by promoting themselves as "greener" than traditional energy companies, and through serving local communities. As a technology, wind competes with other forms of renewable energy, such as solar power, for investment dollars. Wind power capacity in 2011 exceeded 45,000 MW, enough to power more than 10 million homes, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
