FLORENCE (Reuters) - General Electric Co. expects increased competition and a reduction in subsidies by cash-strapped governments to lead to more companies exiting the wind and solar power businesses, but the industrial behemoth still sees growing long-term demand.
"There's going to be a lot of casualties in the wind and solar businesses, there already are in solar," John Krenicki, who leads GE's energy division, told Reuters in an interview on Monday.
