2. Energy Q&A: how important is it?
How much kerosene was burned to get 40 gallons per person in the
me from DC to t e S US ( 500 mile)?
e o C the SFUS (2500 e) plane
How long does a luggage handler 5 to 8 hours, as he is likely to
have to load an unload bags before he use/produce between 125 Watt
has spent 1 kW of physical energy? and 200 Watt
How many labor hours does a gallon 100 to 160 hours, or up to 4
of Kerosene represent if we assume a working weeks of physical labor
50% efficiency?
ffi i ?
How many hours of energy life Every American has the
support does the average American equivalent of 275 employees
get per year?
t ? continuously working for
him/her
What is the average energy efficiency < 2%
we reach in modern society?

17. Small Wind in California
Here we provide an overview of the
specific relevance of small wind in
California and how we can play a role..

18. Small Wind Potential
AWEA (2010): the market for small wind energy applications will
continue to show robust growth for the next decade
US market is largely being served by US companies (95% share)
a d t e bulk o t e $83M sales s being done
and the bu of the $83 in sa es is be g do e by less t a 10
ess than 0
suppliers
Global small wind sales in 2009 were close to $200M
Global small wind market held up very well during the economic
crises showing robust growth in 2008 and 2009
Smaller projects are easy to finance locally and have very limited
stakeholder complexity

20. Wind Resource is Key to Success in Wind,
Big
Bi or small
ll
California has been leading US in
renewable energy portfolio standards,
programs and projects
Wind resources are reasonable so you need
to be resourceful
Small wind has BIG potential in urban
environment provided it is based at sites
with good wind resources
And you start a program at good, clean
wind resource sites
In SF at Treasure Island, Twin Peaks, etc
before taking over the town, wind-pocket

We represent an opportunity to land a new, innovative Cleantech
company in the area which will create high-level, green jobs,
high level,
launching a truly competitive product with strong local market
potential
We i
W aim at a dominant position i th 1 5 kW segment generating
t d i t iti in the 1,5 t ti
$12.5M in revenues in 2014
What would attract an initiative like this to come to the region:
Local initiatives to support and cluster Cleantech companies and
academia
State and local economic development, incentive and R&D
programs available to attract green technology ventures
Positive climate for Cleantech venture capital funding
