5 windpower stocks for the next 5 years; top wind energy companies

Time Capsule Wind Energy Shares

If I had to invest $10,000 in each of 5 different wind power companies, and then lock them away for 5 years, I would look for high quality companies with strong revenue growth. Considering that recent months have taken many wind energy shares down by 50% to 70% or more, longterm investors may want to begin researching some of the global wind energy industry leaders, and accumulate positions in green power mutual funds that own significant positions in these companies.

Wind power equity investments for the medium to longer term:

Suzlon Energy Limited (BOM:532667)

Closing today at 84.75, Suzlon is one of the leading wind energy firms on the planet. The shares peaked at 321 so there will be some tax-loss selling in late November / early December, but in my humble opinion Suzlon wind energy shares represent the best value right now.


Vestas Wind (VWS.CO)

VWS is the number one wind energy company in the world; the shares were up 46.50 today to close at 374 DKK, but they are still a long way from their high of 700. A quality green energy company to consider for your portfolio.



American Superconductor (AMSC)

AMSC is a major supplier to the North American and global wind power industry, and recently signed contracts to licence its technology to Hyundai in Korea and XJ Group in China. At 16.16, the stock is still down almost 2/3 from the high of 47.53, but rapidly rising revenues and lots of blue sky ahead indicate thet American Superconductor may be a super stock to own over the next 5 years.



Clipper Windpower (LON:CWP)

The United Kingdom's top wind turbine manufacturer and windfarm developer, this vertically integrated clean energy company closed today at 163p, still down over 75% from its high of 753.80. Offshore wind energy offers tremendous potential for this high quality UK growth stock.



Boralex Inc. (BLX)

Boralex and Canadian Hydro (KHD) are the top two wind farm developers in Canada, but as Boralex is at 17.2 times earnings and Cdn Hydro is trading at 47x earnings, we'll suggest people look into BLX at this time. Boralex closed today at CDN$8.00, up 0.56 on the day but still less than half of the year's high of 19.39. Like KDN, BLX also has small scale hydro exposure, but BLX has another advantage of being the largest North American producer of electricity from wood waste, a growing segment of the biomass industry.
