• GBT - part of Econcern’s Wind Holding BV - works closely with Darwind BV and Steelworks BV. GBT forms
an essential part of the value chain that will provide Econcern with the capacity to roll out its offshore
projects.
• GBT will focus on primary sourcing of multi-MW blades to both offshore and onshore WTG producers. We
will:
– offer tailored solutions including blade design, development and production
– leverage innovations in blade technology to deliver the best blades at competitive prices
• GBT aims to source 100% of Darwind’s blades and acquire a 10% market share in the remaining market for
outsourced multi-MW blades in Europe
– GBTs overall share in the market of outsourced multi-MW blades will be 30% by 2015
– Total blade production will build up to 2,400 blades by 2020
GBT represents an attractive business opportunity» Total financing required: €43 million
» NPV: €652 million (@ 11% discount rate in real terms)
» IRR: 48%
General Blade Technology
• The prime role of GBT: to secure the supply of high-quality 5 MW blades to Darwind:– Darwind aims to become a major player in the offshore wind turbine market in Europe by offering a
high performance and low maintenance 5 MW wind turbine based on the direct drive principle in combination with a permanent magnet generator
– Darwind will enter the market by 2011 and aims to deliver 500 WTGs by 2016, therefore requiring 1,500 blades by that year.
• New companies entering the market with similar needs:– Once GBT has demonstrated its capabilities by supplying Darwind, it will start offering similar
services to other WTG producers.
• GBT will focus on primary sourcing of multi-MW blades to offshore AND onshore WTG producers. We will :
– offer tailored solutions including blade design, development and production– leverage ongoing innovations in blade technology to deliver the best blades at competitive prices
• GBT will address other market segments to leverage capacity: – Provide secondary sourcing to WTG producers with in-house blade production– Supply 2.5 MW blades as fall-back if the market for large blades falls below plan
• GBT aims to supply 100% of Darwind’s blades and acquire a 10% market share in the remaining (non-Darwind) market of outsourced multi-MW blades:
– Total blade production is expected to build up to 2,400 blades by 2020.
