Follow Warren Buffet and General Electric Into the Wind Power Space
28 5월 2014 - 11:15PM
Following Warren Buffet's recent order for $1 billion worth of wind
turbines, comes further validation of the rapid growth of the space
and the technology as General Electric invests $10 billion; $8
billion in wind farms and the balance in solar. The initiative will
see projects in 16 countries and 28 states, making GE arguably the
largest global investor in Clean-Tech power generation.
For context, these renewable energy projects avoid the annual
emission of about 26 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, the
equivalent of 5.6 million cars, according to US Environmental
Protection Agency methodology.
Globally, one of the fastest moving and investable markets for
wind energy is Brazil. GDP is substantially greater than that of
Canada and per capita (204 million current population) and
electricity demand is expected to double within 20 years. Living
standards are rising as the middle class approaches 50% of the
population and with that, growing power needs on a very large
scale.
"Green Hygienics (GRYN:OTCQB) has a clear and compelling
competitive advantage in Brazil," states Dave Ashby, President and
CEO. "Given that we have worked hard to develop key relationships
and are already on the ground with 12 - 2 megawatt wind turbines
under contract at an extreme discount to market, we have some key
advantages. The economics for other companies in this case not to
mention the wait time for their turbines, time to build and deliver
and logistical challenges make the barriers to entry for
competitors severe and far more costly."
Ashby continues: "We acquired an option on the turbines through
one of our principal shareholders and when exercised, would give us
a cost of roughly $2.5 million or about $0.06 on the dollar. To
replace these would be likely be in excess of $24 million. We are
in the enviable position of owning an extremely valuable and sought
after asset, which we could either sell, or arrange a JV to build a
24 megawatt wind farm. Once built, it would generate immediate and
significant cash flow."
The revenue opportunities are no less compelling. Comparing the
average North American wind farm economics and Brazil, using 35%
and 60% daily wind time respectively, the annual production of
energy would yield $6.6 million gross revenue for the former and
almost 6 times that to $34 million for Brazil, which has almost
twice the wind 'feed stock' and significantly higher power
rates.
Clean-Tech is great business. Innergex Renewable Energy owns and
operates hydroelectric, wind and solar generation assets in Canada
and the US. Since inception in 1990, the company has grown to a
market cap of almost C$1 billion and is trading close to a 52-week
high of C$10.39. In comparison, GRYN has a market cap of US$5.61
million and trades at $US0.50. Interesting to note that the 12 wind
turbines that GRYN owns potentially have a retail value of roughly
four times its current market cap. The company also has a small
float of less than 2 million shares, out of an equally small total
outstanding of 11,217,000 shares fully diluted.
GRYN has several competitive advantages in Brazil. Boasting a
team with many years of international experience, management has an
exceptional track record in establishing marketing and distribution
systems suited to the Clean-Tech space. The Company also brings
financing expertise for this type of business, which is not
familiar to Brazilian companies. GRYN also secures buy and build
opportunities through the sourcing of local business partners in
Brazil.
GRYN has recently seen good market activity as the shares price
has risen from US$0.39 cents to a recent high of US$0.59 in less
than a month. Not surprising, since both the business model and
potential obviously are garnering investor attention. The small
float also makes the shares more reactive.
As well, with high profile companies such as GE and Berkshire
Hathaway investing sizeable dollars to the Clean-Tech space,
investors are becoming more comfortable and willing to commit
funds.
Solar and wind have also come down substantially in price—almost
80 percent which makes these forms of power generation more
competitive than ever. Couple that with the Clean-Tech friendly
atmosphere and the critical need for solutions in Brazil and GRYN
seems to have a compelling story.
GRYN is a diversified company and plans to build out its
business model for Clean-Tech Wholesale Distribution Centers. The
first centre is to be in the State of Ceara, Brazil, known as the
fastest growing state in Brazil in 2013. Its capital Fortaleza, a
city of 3 million, will be the primary location to carry LED
lighting, solar panels and wind turbines. To maximize impact, GRYN
will secure exclusive licenses and distribution rights for each
product and own the land for both the wind farms and wholesale
distribution centers.
Wind energy is the fastest growing source of power generation in
Brazil. The potential is estimated at 300 GW and expectations are
that it will require 2.2 GW each year until 2020. Companies such as
Green Hygienics are in exemplary position to address that need and
bring exceptional value to shareholders.
Recent market action connotes that investors are paying
attention to the Company and the sector. While GRYN's initial foray
is into Brazil, which makes clear economic sense both for the
Company and shareholders, the unique model will be undoubtedly
expanded to other global jurisdictions.
Green Hygienics trades at $0.50 with a market cap of US$5.61
million.
