About the MasterClass
You are invited to join the new online Masterclass in End-of-Life Management for Wind Energy Systems
The economics of renewable energy are shifting fast. Offshore wind investment in Europe fell sharply over the past year, auctions are increasingly being redesigned around bankability, and rising CAPEX and financing costs are reshaping which projects actually get built. In a system where power is sometimes abundant and sometimes scarce, value creation across technologies is starting to matter as much as cost reduction, and knowing whether a project stacks up financially, and why, has never been more important.
In this masterclass, DTU researchers Lissy Langer and Anastasia Ioannou give a practical introduction to how the economic feasibility of an energy project is assessed: from the core feasibility metrics, through electricity market prices and revenues, to the contracts and financing that make a project bankable.
To keep it concrete, the session draws on the real Middelgrunden offshore wind community project, established in 2001 with twenty 2 MW turbines and recently approved for a 25-year lifetime extension, as a worked example of feasibility thinking in practice.
