CASPER - Analysts at Deutsche Bank say the U.S. wind energy market is expected to grow 30 percent per year until 2015 – and that the U.S., India and China, have overtaken Europe to become the three fastest growing wind power generation markets worldwide.

In a research report released earlier this month, Deutsche Bank's analysts say the wind energy industry is growing more attractive as an investment option. The report indicated that both entry-level investments and takeover activity are evidence of a greater interest being taken by traditional energy companies in wind energy -- and a new wave of wind power industry consolidation could be beginning.

Deutsche Bank issued a "buy" rating on General Electric with a new target price of $44. GE Energy is one of the world's largest wind turbine manufacturers.

Investology initiated coverage of Nacel Energy, a Wyoming-based community wind energy developer, with a "positive" rating.

In a research report released this week, the analysts concluded that Nacel Energy has an attractive valuation compared to its industry peers.
