Latin America has a huge untapped wind generation potential. Although, there are many regions still unexplored, the wind potential in some countries is pretty interesting: Mexico (it could reach 15.000-20.000 MW), Brazil (143.000 MW), Central America and the Caribbean, Argentina, Chile and all the “Patagonia”. Some others countries like Colombia, Peru, Ecuador could be interesting.

In the winter that finishes, Argentina has just gone by the worst energy crisis in its history. And, the same threat lurks some others Latin American countries. This situation can help to improve the legislative framework for the renewable energy. In fact, there is a tendency to legislate in favor of the wind energy, and LAWEA is going to help in this.

Thanks to the climatic change and the lack of petroleum of some countries (Argentina, Central America), some important initiatives are arising to promote the renewable energy (LAWEA among them).

The wind power penetration in these countries is marginal; it implies a huge available market.

Every day is more difficult to get appropriate lands for the wind power generation, especially in Europe. So, there are two options, the offshore generation or to look for other territories to stay in the business. Some European manufacturers are thinking in the second option.

Most of the wind turbine manufacturers are sold out, the lead time most of them are offering goes from 2010 to 2012; this situation has generated increases in prices due urgencies and are holding back wind farms start ups world wide, but specially in Mexico.

Our company will be ready for delivering Class II wind turbines during 2008 thanks to the distribution and sales agreement made with some manufacturers; and we will able to supply Class I wind turbines before the end of 2009.

Dynko will be the only and best option for those wind farms ready to start operations during 2008 and 2009.

Only 5% on the globe has Class I winds, it has made that most of the manufacturers are focused on manufacturing Class II and Class III wind turbines, but in Mexico about 50% of its wind power is generated by Class I wind (2,800 Mw).
