LONDON, July 20 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Britain is supposed to be the Saudi Arabia of wind power. Vattenfall’s decision on Thursday to halt the 1.4 gigawatt (GW) Norfolk Boreas project is just the latest sign that Britain’s most appropriate fossil-fuel comparator may not be the biggest and most efficient producer. Vattenfall, a state-held Swedish power company, has gone cool for reasons that are well-discussed in the wind sector. The obvious move for UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would be to allow developers to charge more for power, to make up for higher costs.

A Siemens Gamesa blade factory on the banks of the River Humber in Hull, England on October 11, 2021. Costly failures at wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa last month sent shares of parent company Siemens Energy tumbling, and analysts are concerned about wider teething problems across the industry. The German energy giant scrapped its profit guidance in late June, citing a "substantial increase in failure rates of wind turbine components" at its wind division Siemens Gamesa. He said that 20 years ago, a typical wind turbine would have 1 million watts of capacity; today, European original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, are testing 15 MW turbines. The Statistical Review of World Energy report published last week revealed that wind and solar power accounted for 12% of the world's power generation last year, with wind power output increasing by 13.5%.

UBS analysts said that in a worst-case scenario charges for Siemens Energy could exceed 5 billion euros. Denmark's Orsted said it operates one onshore wind farm with Siemens Energy turbines and that Orsted's portfolio of turbines has "high availability rates, reflecting that wind power has very little down-time." Siemens Gamesa has already told Iberdrola that it would proceed with a retrofit design, the source said, adding no technical issues for the remaining fleet of Siemens Gamesa turbines had been observed. Siemens Energy shares were up 5.7% at 1428 GMT, recovering some losses after analysts said Friday's sell-off was overblown. Siemens Gamesa first disclosed problems around its 5X model in July 2021, flagging higher than expected ramp-up costs.

The Global Wind Energy Council said earlier this year that a record 680 gigawatts (GW) of wind energy capacity is expected to be installed by 2027. But the expected revenues of those planning to build wind turbines have not risen in tandem. Many governments index the prices paid for wind energy, usually through auctions, which are often too low, analysts at Wood Mackenzie said. COMPONENTSAmong the issues which arise from operating wind turbines, wear and tear on turbine blades over time can lead to erosion. Its shares fell more than 6% on Friday, while shares in Siemens Energy, the second biggest wind turbine maker, sank 37%.

FRANKFURT, June 26 (Reuters) - Siemens Energy (ENR1n.DE) shares fell for a second consecutive session on Monday, hit by a raft of target price cuts and rating downgrades in the wake of deeper-than-expected problems at its wind turbine division that emerged last week. It share price was down 3.3% at 1252 GMT, at the bottom of Germany's blue-chip DAX (.GDAXI) index, taking the group's loss in market valuation to 7.4 billion euros ($8.1 billion) since it scrapped its profit outlook late on Thursday. Its shares on Monday traded around 14 euros apiece, the lowest level in seven and a half months. Siemens Energy was forced to publish a brief ad hoc statement late on Thursday based on limited information, withdrawing its profit outlook after it became apparent that the issues would incur costs of more than 1 billion euros.

Siemens Energy CEO Christian Bruch said on Friday that the takeover of Siemens Gamesa had not been a mistake and that the price had seemed right at the time when the offer was made. 'SO MANY QUESTIONS'Top-20 investor Deka Investment said "significantly greater efforts" were now needed by Siemens Energy, chaired by Siemens veteran Joe Kaeser, to restore trust. Berenberg analysts pointed out that Siemens Energy had given a fairly upbeat view on Siemens Gamesa along with second-quarter results only a month ago, and that Thursday's announcement did not fit with the recent communication. Siemens Energy CEO Bruch also cited the need to fix Siemens Gamesa's corporate culture, hinting at the fact that the company's merger never fully worked and that major management mistakes were made. When asked earlier this month on whether Siemens Energy was doing well enough to master the challenges of the energy transition, Kaeser said the management team led by Bruch was strong.

FRANKFURT/BERLIN, June 23 (Reuters) - Siemens Energy (ENR1n.DE) warned on Friday that the impact of quality problems at its Siemens Gamesa wind turbine business would be felt for years and were not yet quantifiable, sending its shares tumbling by nearly a third. Finance chief Maria Ferraro earlier told analysts that the majority of the hit would be over the next five years. Issues at Siemens Gamesa have been a drag on the parent for a long time, prompting Siemens Energy to take full control of the business after only partially owning it for several years. The discovery of faulty components at Siemens Gamesa in January had already caused a charge of nearly half a billion euros. At the same time, he said he did not believe that the full takeover of Siemens Gamesa had been a mistake.

☆ Siemens Energy shares plunge more than 37% as wind turbine worries deepen
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-23 | by ( Elliot Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Siemens Energy shares plunged over 37% on Friday after the company scrapped its profit forecast and warned that costly problems at its wind turbine unit could last for years. The company, born from the spinoff of the former gas and power division of German conglomerate Siemens , announced late Thursday that a review of issues at subsidiary Siemens Gamesa had found a "substantial increase in failure rates of wind turbine components." "It is too early to have an exact estimate of the potential financial impact of the quality topics and to gauge the impact of the review of our assumptions on our business plans," Siemens Energy said in a statement. "However, based on our initial assessment as of today, the potential magnitude of the impact leads us to withdraw the profit assumptions for Siemens Gamesa and consequently the profit guidance for Siemens Energy Group for fiscal year 2023." Siemens Gamesa has been a thorn in the side of its parent company since its full takeover late last year.

The company has provided more than 132 gigawatts (GW) of wind turbines as of the end of April this year to all global regions: 108 GW of onshore wind and 22 GW of offshore wind. The discovery of faulty components at Siemens Gamesa's onshore wind turbines had already caused a charge of nearly half a billion euros in January. Siemens Gamesa has provided wind turbines to some of the biggest power companies and oil and gas majors worldwide. Shares in European wind turbine producers Nordex (NDXG.DE) and Vestas (VWS.CO) also fell as confidence in the industry was shaken. Many wind power developers have already seen delays in projects due to the availability of components and rising costs.

LONDON, June 23 (Reuters Breakingviews) - It would be logical to assume that wind turbine manufacturers would be the first to benefit from the many government incentives designed to combat climate change. The German company issued late on Thursday a major profit warning, and scrapped its profit guidance this year. Siemens Energy’s stock dropped by more than 30% on Friday morning, wiping some 5.5 billion euros off the company’s market price. After Friday’s hit, Siemens Energy is trading at 0.4 times sales, way below rival Vestas Wind Systems’ (VWS.CO) multiple of 1.7.

Issues at the company's Siemens Gamesa unit have been a drag on the parent, and the announcement marks the latest blow to Siemens Energy's efforts to get these under control following a full takeover of the business. Frankfurt-listed Siemens Energy shares were down 12.8% at 1849 GMT after the announcement, which follows the initial discovery of faulty components at Siemens Gamesa in January that caused a charge of nearly half a billion euros. Siemens Energy said that an extended technical review of Siemens Gamesa's installed turbine fleet and product designs was launched following that is says was a substantial increase in failure rates of components. "We are also reviewing assumptions critical to the existing business plans given productivity improvements are not materializing to the extent previously expected," Siemens Energy said. Problems at Siemens Gamesa had already caused Siemens Energy to tone down its profit outlook last month, expecting its profit margin before special items at the lower end of its 1%-3% target range for the fiscal 2023 year.

LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - Amazon plans to expand its business selling office supplies in Europe and internationally after the pandemic helped boost sales as companies shopped more online and looked for bulk discounts. Amazon Business' gross sales in Europe grew at a compound annual rate of 25% from 2020 to 2022, vice president Alexandre Gagnon said in an interview. In Europe, the business launched first in Germany in 2016, then Britain in the following year, followed by Italy, Spain and France in 2018. "Because businesses buy in larger quantities, the fulfilment economics are more advantageous," Gagnon said, adding that Amazon gives companies discounts for bulk orders.

(Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images News | Getty ImagesIt's been a tough couple of years for the U.S. wind energy industry. Although 2023 is expected to remain sluggish, GE Renewable Energy, Siemens Energy and Vestas Wind Systems, the leading makers of wind turbines — outside of China, which has built the world's largest wind energy infrastructure — and their suppliers are banking on growth over the next decade, particularly in the nascent offshore wind niche. "The wind energy market is stuck in this very strange paradox right now," said Aaron Barr, an industry analyst at Wood Mackenzie. Comparatively, the U.S. offshore wind industry is just ramping up after years of delays in permitting, environmental approvals and power purchasing agreements with utilities that buy wind energy.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/IllustrationMarch 31 (Reuters) - General Electric Co (GE.N) has settled all its outstanding wind turbine technology patent disputes in the United States and Europe with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy S.A (GAM.HA), the companies said on Friday. Siemens Gamesa had sued GE for patent infringement in 2020 over the latter's Haliade-X turbines. Last year, a Boston federal judge barred GE from making and selling its Haliade-X wind turbines in the United States, after a jury found they infringed a patent owned by Siemens Gamesa. But GE was allowed to continue making and operating the turbines for existing projects off the coasts of Massachusetts and New Jersey with royalty payments to Siemens Gamesa. In February, the same judge ruled GE must double its patent royalty payments to Siemens Gamesa for the turbines it uses in a renewable energy project off the New Jersey coast.

But renewable energy remains a problem. Analysts have raised questions about whether GE may be forced to alter a plan to spin off GE Vernova into a separate company next year, including a possible delay or changing which assets are included. "I want to kind of understand is there any chance at all that Vernova will not include GE wind," William Blair analyst Nicholas Heymann said. But overall, GE is expected to reiterate its 2023 adjusted earnings outlook of $1.60 to $2.00 per share on Thursday. The aerospace business, which supplies engines to Airbus (AIR.PA) and Boeing (BA.N), is grappling with shortages of labor, parts and raw materials.

Lawrence Elbaum, co-head of law firm Vinson & Elkins' shareholder activism practice, said investors were looking for value-boosting strategies that do not require much funding in a difficult market. Deka Investment, which has around 367 billion euros ($392 billion) in assets under management and holds stakes in most major German corporations, has repeatedly called out German companies for structural weaknesses. Germany's blue-chip DAX 30 index (.GDAXI) put in the worst performance of any major European stock market in the past year, rising just 2%. Joe Kaeser, supervisory board chairman of Siemens Energy (ENR1n.DE), said the United States was much more advanced, and also more successful, in the field of shareholder activism. As CEO of conglomerate Siemens AG from 2013 until 2021, he engineered one of Germany's most successful corporate break-ups, separately listing Siemens Energy and Siemens Healthineers (SHLG.DE) and merging Siemens's wind unit with Spain's Gamesa.

FRANKFURT, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Siemens Energy (ENR1n.DE) said on Tuesday its net loss more than doubled in the first quarter, blaming charges related to quality issues at Siemens Gamesa (SGREN.MC) which the German firm is trying to fix via a full takeover of the wind division. Siemens Energy, which pre-released first-quarter results last month, said its net loss widened to 598 million euros ($641 million) in the October-December period, compared with a loss of 246 million euros in the same period a year earlier. Order backlog, however, hit a new record at 98.8 billion euros at the end of December, said the group that was spun off from Siemens (SIEGn.DE), driven by its grid technology division which recorded a major win last month. The group, in presentation slides, said the order backlog would translate into 22 billion euros of revenues in 2023, 21 billion euros in 2024 and 55 billion in 2025.

Still, Siemens Gamesa confirmed the outlook for the wind industry remained good, pointing to the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act as well as the continent's RePowerEU programme aimed at ditching fossil fuels.
