WIND POWER IPO FILING: First Wind
Holdings (WNDY)
We've just seen a filing for an initial public offering from First Wind Holdings Inc., which looks actually
to be a holding company that owns class A and class B "Units" of First Wind Holdings, LLC. First Wind has
applied to take the ticker WNDY on NASDAQ. As per the company name, the company is involved in WIND ENERGY.
For filing purposes it has listed the amount of $450 Million as the amount in shares that
it intends to offer. Underwriters are listed as Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan.
Below is a self description of the company:
We are a leading independent North American wind
energy company focused exclusively on the development, ownership and operation of wind energy projects. As of June 30, 2008,
our portfolio of wind energy projects included approximately 5,564 megawatts ("MW") of capacity, of which 92 MW
were operating and 182 MW were under construction. We expect to start construction on a 203 MW project in 2008 and, as a result,
to be simultaneously constructing three wind energy projects representing 385 MW of capacity. Our goal is to have approximately
1,100 MW of operating capacity by the end of 2010 and we target the construction and commissioning of approximately 400 MW
annually thereafter to achieve approximately 2,300 MW of operating capacity by the end of 2013. We have entered into purchase
contracts for turbines with an aggregate generating capacity in excess of 1,300 MW, which are scheduled to be delivered or
commissioned between 2008 and 2013. We expect this supply will be sufficient to meet all of our anticipated turbine needs
in 2008 and 2009 and approximately 80% of our anticipated turbine needs in 2010.
