Wind

Although the next few years will see a sustained recovery, this growth will not be spread equally across markets and participants face growing competition and cost pressures. Bloomberg New Energy Finance supports companies as they build their business across the onshore and offshore wind energy industry through our range of insight, data and news services.

See our WIND ASSET VALUATION TOOL – BNEF has an interactive online tool which gives investors unparalleled transparency on wind asset valuations. Combining BNEF’s financial, economic and market data with 3TIER’s long term wind resource information we have created a platform which allows our clients to evaluate wind projects quickly, efficiently, and with confidence.

There are two ways to access the model: as a BNEF Wind Insight client through http://www.bnef.com/Wval or through the Bloomberg Professional service at WVAL<go>.
