New government standards and regulations, particularly those related to the certification of key components, are scheduled to go into effect by 1 July, 2015.
The NEA, alarmed by what it describes as “disorganised competition” in the wind industry, said it wants to improve technological standards in the turbine market through constant supervision and the regular disclosure of important information.
In an apparent bid to facilitate ongoing consolidation within the wind industry, it said that it wants to minimise the emergence of new developers and turbine manufacturers, and will discourage developers from owning or holding stakes in turbine producers.
