Gazprom eyes German power generation market | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 26.01.2012

The world's largest natural gas corporation, Gazprom of Russia, says it is eager to challenge major German power utilities in their home market.
"We don't just want to deliver gas to Germany, but invest in the country's power generation, too," Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller told the Süddeutsche Zeitung on Thursday.

Jahresbilanz Windenergie 2011: Deutscher Markt wächst wieder \| Bundesverband WindEnergie e.V.		Annual results for wind power 2011: German market is growing again \| German Federal Wind Energy Association
Nach aktuellen Erhebungen des Deutschen Windenergie-Instituts (DEWI) wurden 2011 in Deutschland 895 (2010: 754) Windenergieanlagen mit einer Leistung von 2.007 (2010: 1.551) Megawatt neu installiert. Das sind 456 MW mehr als 2010 und entspricht einem Zuwachs von 30 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Da die Datenerhebung der europäischen Windstatistik angepasst werden soll, werden zukünftig nur noch an das Netz angeschlossene Anlagen berücksichtigt. Betrachtet man die an das Netz angeschlossene Leistung von 2.086 Megawatt in 2011 gegenüber 1.493 Megawatt in 2010 liegt der Zuwachs bei fast 40 Prozent.		According to recent surveys by the German Wind Energy Institute (DEWI), in 2011, 895 (2010: 754) new turbines have been installed in Germany with a combined power capacity of 2,007 megawatts (2010: 1551 megawatts). This is 456 MW more than in 2010, or an increase of 30 percent over the previous year. Since data collection is to be adjusted to European wind statistics, in the future, only grid-connected installations will be considered. Looking at the grid-connected power of 2086 megawatts in 2011 against 1493 megawatts in 2010, the growth is almost 40 percent.
...Der Deutsche Windenergiezubau liegt voraussichtlich im Trend des Weltmarktes. In 2011 könnten die prognostizierten 40.000 Megawatt um rund 2.000 Megawatt überschritten werden. Fast die Hälfte davon wurde - wie auch schon 2010 - in China installiert.		...German wind installations probably follow the world market trend. In 2011, the predicted 40,000 megawatts will likely be exceeded by about 3,000 megawatts. Almost half of that - as in 2010 already - were installed in China.

Deregulation of power markets -> expansion of gas power.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Especially dangerous (4.00 / 2)

if Gazprom owns a chunk of gas generation in Germany, they are going to want to be generating baseload, not compensating renewables. And they will have more leverage to obtain this on a policy level.
