I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

GE to invest US$453 mln in European offshore wind

 Keppel bags first major newbuild contract for German offshore wind farm

 Does the news below means more opportunities for Keppel Corp in 2010/2011?  More to come?

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OSLO/LONDON - General Electric Co will invest 340 million euros (US$453 million) in offshore wind technology in Europe until 2020, it said on Thursday.


Around 110 million euros will be invested in British turbine manufacturing and 105 million euros in engineering and production facilities in Germany, with a target of mass producing GE's new 4 megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine as early as 2012.

'Most of the (offshore wind) projects will be in 2012 to 2015 so you will see mass production within that timeframe,' Victor Abate, Vice-President of Renewables at GE Energy told Reuters at a press briefing in Oslo. 

Mr Abate said he expected sales of hundreds of turbines per year until 2020 with most of the sales and manufacturing in Britain and Germany. 


GE also said Britain's budget announcements on a 60 million pound (US$89.52 million) offshore wind infrastructure port development competition on Wednesday was key to the company's investment decision.

'We believe offshore wind has a bright future here in the UK and are delighted that the UK government yesterday committed to further developing this important sector,' Magued Eldaief, managing director of GE Energy UK said.

Climate Change and Energy Secretary Ed Milliband said: 'GE's investment will create new jobs and help the supply chain flourish, reinforcing the UK as the destination for offshore wind investment.' 


The rest of the investment comprises 75 million euros in Norway for testing wind turbines and 50 million euros in Sweden on a design facility.

Billions have been spent on installing onshore wind farms across Europe over the past decade in an effort to decarbonise power generation, with Denmark and Spain already producing half their electricity from wind. -- REUTERS
