The Tough Realities of Renewable Energy Businesses

“There is a partial vacuum of information that would help clean energy entrepreneurs and investors in their day-to-day quest to make sense of the issues that will directly affect the choices they make as businesspeople,” says Craig Shields, editor of http://2GreenEnergy.com. “I’m happy to provide my research, based on the literally hundreds of businesses I review each year in the clean energy space.”

While it’s true that the world’s attention is riveted on renewable energy, there are hundreds of mistakes that are easy for entrepreneurs and investors to make as they enter this space - and Shields’ report serves to focus attention on areas that are vital to business success, answering questions that are critically important:

The report includes the concept of “following the money,” encouraging readers to try their best to infer the directions of the Fortune 25.

A brief excerpt follows:

"Even though I’m not invited to the board meetings of General Electric and Siemens (and I’m guessing you’re not either), we can nonetheless pay attention to the obvious investment strategies that these giants are in the process of executing.

"For example, it’s clear to everyone that GE wants to rule the world as the Earth "goes green" over the coming few decades; there is not a single major green product or service line that GE is overlooking. From its Louisville, KY smart appliance plant, in which each product is fitted with a computer that communicates wirelessly to and from a programmable controller in the customer’s house, to its participation in Smart Grid, to its gearbox-less wind turbines, it’s quite clear what GE is doing as a long-term corporate strategy.

"So what should smart entrepreneurs infer from this, and what actions do they take accordingly? Probably many things. But let’s look at a couple of obvious points:

"A) Look askance at the claim that anyone is going to beat GE in a head-on-head competition, in favor of a plan that proposes to offer products or services that are complementary to the strategies of this behemoth.

"B) A company with the vision and strength of GE is extremely unlikely to make a serious mistake when it comes to a major market strategy. Trust a $157 billion company when it comes to making this prediction."

Shields concludes, “In the course of an average week, I’d say I review at least a half a dozen business plans. And it occurs to me that I’ve learned a few things from this process that I can share.”
