Product details

Enron Wind Corporation is one of the world''s premiere natural gas and electrical energy providers. During the 1990s, wind energy was the fastest growing energy technology in the world. Changes in the global electricity sector provide the company with business opportunities and challenges in the wind energy industry, in the context of energy shortages and global concerns about the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuel generation of electricity. The Kyoto Protocol is a new force that may improve the business prospects of wind energy, as nations attempt to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Enron considers Brazil as an investment opportunity for this technology. Brazil has a very attractive wind energy potential; however the country has seen very little wind energy development. Brazil''s history of extreme political and economic volatility must be evaluated as a component of the decision to invest.
