The alternative energy sector has become increasingly attractive to private equity investors in recent times. This is particularly true of wind power, a renewable energy source that is now even cheaper than coal or nuclear power. The European wind power sector is poised to experience considerable growth over the next decade, according to Augusta Finance.
The emergence of wind power will result from regulatory pressures to reduce carbon emissions and from beneficial economics. Possible growth rates are forecast at the 20 per cent range, in line with the growth of hydro power after 1950 and nuclear power from 1960. It is therefore a sector that should not be overlooked by potential investors.
