More giant company and government are dramatically increase renewable energy fund in their budget. One engine at the start of the investment of renewable energy, creating a team in 2004 with some € 300 million of funds among the most important
European fund for renewable energy. The seven investment professionals on a full time with over 60 years of investment in energy experience that is a majority interest in 20 wind, solar and biomass projects operating permit or construction totaling more than 275MW. majority stakes in 15 wind farms in development totaling over 300 MW, where it provides capital at all stages - from development to pre-project construction and operation of flexible structures and a partnership approach to create superior results for all stakeholders. It salso focused on the European Wind Energy, solar and biomass projects Enel (ENEI.MI), utilities most indebted in Europe, would sell shares in its renewable arm a significant discount to earn more investors disappointed by performing clean energy supply, an investment manager said.
Enel would be better to delay the sale of Enel Green Power (EGP) - pencil for October - until market conditions energy policy and green and regulations in Europe and the United States are clarified, Impax Asset Management , Portfolio manager Simon Gottelier told Reuters.
The Italian utility Enel hopes to raise at least 3 billion euros (3.79 billion dollars) from the sale, which may be Europe's largest initial Offering (IPO) this year to help reduce its debt pile.
Enel must repay a significant amount of debt from the proceeds of the IPO, but in the current market ipoing not probably not the best time, "said Gottelier.
Impax Asset Management (IPX.L), a leading manager of UK investment in the environment with 6 percent of its $ 3 billion portfolio invested in utilities renewable energy, promote renewable energy funds and would be cautious about the sale of PGE.
"Never say never, but it must be drastically reduced," Gottelier said, adding that a reduction of about 30-50 percent for ongoing assessments in the peer group would attract investors, especially those with a long-term strategy.
The reduction of incentives for green energy in Spain and Italy, as well as uncertainty about the future of the U.S. Bill on Climate Change
PGE listed stocks pushed rival is down to trade at less than 10 times expected earnings base (EBITDA) in 2011, he said.
"This is not a reflection of the quality of the company. It is simply a very, very difficult market. Companies listed peer group have very high quality, well managed companies which have done nothing in terms of performance shares during the last 18 months " Gottelier said.
HSBC cut the price target on PGE main rivals, such as wind energy leaders of Spain Iberdrola Renovables SA (IBR.MC) and Acciona (ANA.MC), PDEs Portugal Renewable Energy (EDPR.LS) and the energies of France EDF News (EEN.PA).
"There is probably a more compelling investment story for them (Enel) at the opening of business ... when there is a clearer image of what will happen to the U.S. in terms of support for a renewable energy policy in the federal government, "said Gottelier.
Enel has announced that it would pursue a two track to sell a minority stake in PGE, and could opt for a private placement if it offered a better deal. But Enel Gottelier doubt get more value from a private sale of the IPO.
"There are deep-renewable energy out there ... which have a significant negative performance of existing wind farm development project. I do not think they will rush to add to their positions of renewable energy, "he said.
IMPAX, whose assets under management rose 40 percent to 1.77 billion pounds (2.73 billion dollars) during the six months to the end Mars, was underweight in utilities renewable energy compared to an allowance of 11 percent for the sector as a benchmark FTSE Environmental Opportunities All-Share Index. FTEOAS.
Investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy funds represent about 54 percent of the portfolio IMPAX, about 20 percent is invested in waste management and the rest in water activities, Gottelier said.
A variety of political factors, both at federal and the state have played an important role in the expansion of wind energy market in the United States.
The federal policy landscape is now more favorable to wind energy than any other time during the last decade. At the federal level, perhaps the two most important - at least in recent years - were the CTP accelerated tax depreciation.
First established by the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the PTC provides a credit of 10 years to a level equal to 2.1 ¢ / kWh 2009 (adjusted annually for inflation) and increases to 2.2 cents / kWh in 2010.
The historical importance of the PTC with the U.S. industry of wind power is illustrated by the pronounced lulls in the wind additions to capacity in three years (2000, 2002 and 2004) in which the PTC lapsed, and the development has increased activity often seen during the year when the PTC is otherwise scheduled to expire accelerated tax depreciation, meanwhile, allows project owners to depreciate the majority of their investments on a period of five to six years for tax purposes. An even-more-attractive 50% depreciation bonus "calendar has been put in place during 2009, acting as an additional engine of wind capacity additions this year.
Although both federal incentives will likely remain important for the future (CTP is currently in place until 2012,having been extended under the Recovery Act, while the accelerated depreciation is no expiration date), in 2009, the PTC individual has been eclipsed by section 1603 of the Treasury program cash grant, adopted within the framework of the Recovery Act in February 2009.
Recognizing the obvious lack of tax equity investors in the market after the financial crisis of late 2008, Section 1603 of the Recovery Act provides wind and other projects eligible for the election of a subsidy of 30% instead of the PTC or ITC.
On the PC, the cash grant of 30% can provide a significant amount of value to wind projects. It is not surprising, then, the program has been heavily subscribed by wind projects, which in mid-July 2010, had received 88% more of $ 4,780,000,000 in section 1603 of cash grants awarded since the implementation of the program in late July 2009. More than 6,400 MW - more than 64% - of all the new wind power installed in the United States in 2009 chose the grant.
Section 1603 program should continue to be a powerful engine for at least a year - wind energy projects should start construction by the end of 2010 and operational by the end of 2012 to qualify for the premium - and more proposals exist to extend the program in some form.
Two other programs of recovery law has also played a role (more limited) in the field of wind energy in 2009. Title IV of the First Recovery Act extended a loan guarantee program that was originally adopted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The initial program, under section 1703 is intended for projects that manufacture or use of innovative clean energy technologies.

Finding funds for renewable energy, where there are the first two guarantees for projects in the wind sector has been conditionally granted in 2009 and early 2010: Nordic Wind power has received a guarantee of $ 16 million loan to develop its two blades wind turbine manufacturing plant in Pocatello, Idaho, while the first wind developer has received a guarantee of 117 million loan for its proposed 30 MW wind farm Kahuku (which includes a battery storage) in Hawaii.
