The PTC will be extended for one year
retroactively for 2014 if the Senate and President Barack Obama
concur.
"People were expecting a two-year extension, so this is less
than expected," Nordea analyst Patrik Setterberg said in a note
to clients.
However, he said the Senate had previously argued it wanted a
two-year tax package, leading him to conclude the final deal
could still change.
"The outcome in the Senate and the final details of the
extension, which are expected at a later stage, will decide
whether it is a good or bad deal," Setterberg said, adding it
was too early to estimate the potential impact on company
results.
Sydbank analyst Jacob Pedersen had previously said shares in
Vestas, the world's biggest wind turbine maker, could outperform
the market by more than 10 percent within a week or so if the
PTC was extended.
General Electric, Siemens, Gamesa and Suzlon are also active in
the U.S. wind power industry, home to almost 20 percent of the
world's installed turbines.
