Nacel Energy Inc. (OTCBB: NCEN)

Dear Reader,

Currently, America harnesses more than 21,000 MW of electric energy from wind; enough to meet the needs of 5.5 million average homes. And, according to a Department of Energy report, wind can provide much more . . . as much as 20% of America’s energy needs by 2030.  Our featured company today, Nacel Energy Inc. (OTCBB: NCEN) is engaged in the business of generating clean, profitable, renewable energy from wind. 

Why wind energy?  Wind energy produces no emissions and does not pollute our air or water and, unlike nuclear power, requires no hazardous waste storage.  Both coal (a heavy polluter) and natural gas release greenhouse gases that also may affect our world’s climate. An increasingly important economic and strategic benefit of wind energy is its contribution to reducing our dependence on imported energy from less secure regions across the globe. 

About Nacel Energy

Nacel Energy Inc. ("Nacel""NCEN") is one of the first publicly-traded companies in America exclusively developing utility class wind power generation facilities. NACEL Energy’s domestic market niche is the development of 20-30 MW projects in Class 4 or higher wind corridors with favorable existing transmission infrastructure. 

NACEL Energy has four projects underway in Texas and three additional domestic projects in development. Internationally, NACEL Energy focuses on regions with positive wind resource characteristics predominantly served by diesel power generation. NACEL Energy is currently developing a three-phase wind project in the Dominican Republic. The total planned generating capacity of NACEL Energy’s domestic and international wind power projects is 1000 MW by 2010 – enough energy to power 300,000 average American homes.

It’s a clean, profitable, renewable, energy business. Important advances in turbine technology have made power generated from wind the only form of renewable energy now truly cost-competitive with fossil-fuels. And, wind’s role in our nation’s energy policy mix is rapidly gaining importance – 29 States and the Federal Government have implemented legislation to speed-up wind energy development. Today, wind is the fastest growing source of energy in America and it is an important solution in our overall quest for energy independence and a cleaner environment.

Nacel and the Market

American Innovation and Wind Energy 

Today, America harnesses more than 21,000 MW of electric energy from wind; enough to meet the needs of 5.5 million average homes. And, according to the Department of Energy (read the DOE report “20% Wind Energy by 2030” HERE), wind can provide much more . . . as much as 20% of America’s energy needs

Did you know that the modern wind turbine was invented in Cleveland in 1887? The famous inventor of the arc light and co-founder of General Electric, Charles Brush, built a large wind turbine in the backyard of his Cleveland home which consistently generated power for more than 20 years. In addition, many of today’s amazing advances in wind turbine technology were developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and much of the wind energy industry's success worldwide can be attributed to the research conducted at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC). The pioneering research of these two organizations of the Department of Energy has led to the development of today’s multi-megawatt wind turbines which produce electric energy at a cost that is now competitive with conventional energy sources like fossil-fuels.

In fact, long-term forecasts from the early 1990’s by Pacific Gas & Electric (the California utility) concluded that wind would ultimately become America’s least expensive source of energy. The cost of energy produced from wind turbines is now competitive with mainstream power technologies, such as coal and hydro and is now less expensive than gas or nuclear. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has estimated the cost of wind energy from today’s generation of turbines is 5 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), not including the Federal Production Tax Credit (PTC). The PTC (1.9 cents per kWh, adjusted for inflation) applies to the first 10 years of any eligible new wind energy turbine’s operation.

According to the Department of Energy, the mix of America’s energy production is as follows; coal (51 percent), natural gas (18 percent) and nuclear (20 percent). However, most new electric energy plants constructed in the last 15 years are natural gas fired. But, the cost of natural gas has increased steadily since 1996, when it averaged less than $2 per thousand cubic feet (to today’s cost of approximately $7 per thousand cubic feet) so that the cost of natural gas fired electric energy generation is unpredictable. As an example, in January 2003, when natural gas costs reached $15 per thousand cubic feet in some markets, the cost of natural gas generated power was as 20 cents per kWh in those same markets.

In contrast to natural gas, the cost of wind energy has continued to decline. In fact, the cost of wind energy has dropped by approximately 15% with each doubling of installed capacity worldwide, and capacity doubled three times during the 1990s. Wind energy today costs only about one-sixth as it did in the 1980’s and its cost is expected to further decline by another 25% by 2010.

It's not surprising that wind energy is the fastest growing source of electricity generation in America and the world given the direct economic benefits mentioned above. But, if indirect environmental costs were factored in, wind energy's competitiveness would increase even further because of its low environmental impact. 

Wind energy produces no emissions, but less obviously, wind energy is also free of the additional environmental costs resulting from mining or drilling, processing and shipping other “fuels”. Coal, which provides half of America’s electric energy, has been linked to illness, acid rain and mercury pollution, and releases greenhouse gases and therefore may contribute to global warming. Although natural gas is less polluting than coal, it also releases greenhouse gases that may affect our world’s climate.

The use of wind energy on the other hand does not pollute our air or water and, unlike nuclear power, requires no hazardous waste storage. An increasingly important economic and strategic benefit of wind energy is its contribution in reducing our dependence upon of imported energy from less secure regions across the globe.

States That Have a Renewable Energy Policy
Many States now mandate that a certain percentage of energy consumed is obtained from renewable sources like wind. As of August 2008, 32 States and the District of Columbia have renewable energy standards in place.

The Federal tax code provides a variety of permanent and temporary incentives for conventional forms of energy, also includes a production tax credit (PTC) for wind energy and a 5-year accelerated depreciation schedule for wind turbines. The 1.5 cent-per-kWh PTC is adjusted for inflation (currently it stands at 1.9 cents per kWh) and supports electricity generated from utility-scale wind turbines for the first ten years of their operation. The PTC, first adopted in 1992, was extended in 1999, again, through 2003 after its expiration in 2001, and most recently through December 31, 2008.

The Company

NACEL Energy is one of the first publicly-traded wind energy companies in America developing utility class power generation in the 20-30 MW project size market niche. WindVest™ is NACEL Energy’s solution for building partnerships with landowners or joint-ventures with small wind developers. WindVest™ was conceived to address three major obstacles to developing wind projects experience by landowners and developers – (1) the lack of interest on the part of many utilities in the 20-30 MW market niche (2) the scarcity of early stage capital to initiate wind power generation projects in the 20-30 MW market niche (3) the lack of tax-efficient structures in the 20-30 MW market niche to utilize Federal and State incentives for wind energy development.

For a landowner, WindVest™ begins with an initial wind resource, transmission assessment and financial survey of the proposed site.  At the successful conclusion of the WindVest™ process, a long term wind development rights agreement offering royalty and other monetary payments to the landowner is provided.

For a developer, WindVest™ can provide solutions at all stages of wind development – from measuring the wind resource potential of the site, to advice regarding interconnection and permitting, to the negotiation of power purchase agreements. WindVest™ includes the establishment of a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) which determines the ownership positions in the project and the amount of early-stage capital invested by NACEL Energy. The WindVest™ LLC is structured to "monetize" of the Federal Production Tax Credit (PTC). In addition to the revenue stream generated by the turbines, the PTC is a significant additional source of revenue for a utility class wind power generation project.
 

What is a Nacel? The Nacelleis the housing of a wind turbine that contains the key components of the turbine, including the gearbox, and the electrical generator. Service personnel may enter the nacelle from the tower of the turbine. To the left of the nacelle we have the wind turbine rotor, i.e. the rotor blades and the hub.

How does a Wind Turbine Work?
Kinetic wind energy is converted to electric energy by a wind turbine. In a typical, modern, utility scale wind turbine, the kinetic energy in the wind is converted to electricity by the rotational motion of a two or three-bladed rotor assembly. The rotor turns a shaft which transfers the motion into the nacelle (the large housing at the top of a wind turbine tower). Inside the nacelle, the slowly rotating shaft enters a gearbox that greatly increases the rotational shaft speed. The high-speed shaft is connected to a generator that converts the rotational movement into electricity at medium voltage (a few hundred volts). Electricity flows down heavy electric cables inside the wind turbine tower to a transformer, which increases the voltage of the electric power to the distribution voltage (a few thousand volts). The reason that voltage is “stepped-up” is that higher voltage electricity flows more easily through electric lines, generating less heat and power loss. The distribution-voltage power is then sent to an electrical grid substation where the voltage is again increased dramatically to transmission-voltage power (a few hundred thousand volts) and transported via long distance transmission lines to distant cities and factories.
