DynaWind and Wasa Kredit offer unique leasing solution for wind turbines

Morphic Technologies' DynaWind AB and Länsförsäkringar's finance company Wasa
Kredit AB have jointly developed a unique solution for financing wind power
stations. Under the partnership, Wasa Kredit will fund individual wind turbines
and smaller wind-parks from DynaWind up to a value of SEK 80m through leasing
arrangements. The goal is to employ all available means to make investments in
wind turbines from DynaWind as simple, profitable and trouble-free as possible. 

Investments in new wind power capacity have increased sharply in the last few
years. The investors include big energy companies, local wind power
associations, projectors and private investors. Wasa Kredit will fund individual
DynaWind projects up to a value of SEK 80m under leasing arrangements that will
cover several wind turbines from DynaWind. 

The advantage is that the investor only needs to put down 20 percent. Wasa
Kredit then provides the rest, using the turbine as collateral. If, for example,
a landowner forms a company, which leases the land in return for a certain
percentage of the 
earnings, our financing solution becomes self-sustaining. Any additional profits
generated by the company will be a ‘bonus'. 

Another advantage is that, because the turbine is used as collateral and is
placed in a company, the landowner does not need tie up other collateral and
thus potentially limit his room for maneuver in other business activities. The
repayment schedule can be customized to suit each borrower's earnings situation.
This type of financing is also suitable in cases where assets are transferred to
another party, e.g. in case of a sale or inheritance.

“We have noticed a very significant increase in interest from investors to
invest in our wind turbines, not least from private individuals. Through this
partnership with Wasa Kredit, we can offer an end-to-end solution that covers
funding, delivery, erection and operation of a complete wind turbine, including
service and maintenance. This will strengthen our offer in this area”, Anders
Sjögren, DynaWind AB's CEO says. 

“Wind power is a new area of finance for us. The market for wind power is
growing very rapidly, and we look forward to helping to ensure a continued
strong growth in Swedish wind power together with DynaWind”, Jesper Holmberg at
Wasa Kredit says. 

The rate of growth is expected to increase further. In late November the Swedish
Energy Agency proposed that Sweden's national planning target for electricity
production from wind power be raised to 30 TWh in 2020. This represents a higher
level of ambition than the current target of 10 TWh in 2015. An increase to 30
TWH will, depending on the effect and wind conditions, require an increase from
800 wind power stations at present to 3,000-6,000 stations, both on-shore and
off-shore. According to Morphic's calculations, this will require investments of
SEK 150-200bn.

Under an exclusive licensing agreement with Finnish WinWinD Oy, DynaWind offers
complete wind turbine parks as well as individual turbines in Sweden in the 1 MW
and 3 MW categories. WinWinD provides the technological solution while DynaWind
is responsible for sales, delivery, production, assembly, commissioning and
servicing of the turbines. 
DynaWind's wind turbines offer the market's highest rate of use, good
operational access and minimal servicing requirements. These benefits are the
result of a modern, patented construction in which the generator operates at a
low variable RPM. This results in a low rate of wear, long economic life and
good profitability compared with traditional turbines. In DynaWind/WinWinD's
construction the gearbox has been replaced by an energy-absorbing bearing and a
planet gear that is insensitive to imbalances in energy transmission. Since
December 2006, 19 wind turbines have been sold to customers in Sweden.
