Windmill industry in Denmark • Turnover of Danish businesses in Denmark 51.1 billion Danish kroners • Global turnover of Danish businesses 91.4 billion Danish kroners • The export of Danish businesses in 2009 41.7 billion Danish kroners • The share of Danish businesses of the total Danish export 8,5 percent • The employment in Denmark in 2009 24.700 persons – in the Municipality 4.000

  6. Power purchase agreement • All financial figures in the following are based on a PPA ”Power purchase agreement” of minimum 8,2 EUR cent/kWh, for a period aiming to return the investment

  7. Windmills - plan and strategy • To set up windmills is a part of the vision for Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality to become self-sufficient from energy sources by 2020 • The Municipality will be an area for renewable energy and environmentally friendly production • Besides wind the Municipality is engaged in biogas, hydrogen, wave energy, sun- and geothermal heat

  8. Jobs • Production of windmills creates jobs • 2.000 people are directly employed in the production of windmills in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality • Another 2000 people are employed in businesses delivering goods and services to the windmill industry

  9. The Seaway West • To create business development • To improve infrastructure • Expectations of 12 to 20 new businesses in Hvide Sande • 460 permanent jobs to the offshore-market in the North Sea • A sustainable project with focus on energy, climate and environment • Not only for the sake of Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality

  12. Law for Renewable Energy • Right to buy • The Green-Scheme • Loss of Value

  13. Value for the landowner/farmer

They could then individually decide wether to invest or not. The amount will depend on number of turbines, and number of neighbours.

  16. Present example • Locals in the process of building a Village Hall, partially financed from the building of 6 wtg’s of 3 MW
