Case Study: GHG Reduction Income
Basic information: 100 MW off-shore wind farm Cost @ $2,500/kW 70% debt @ 6% interest rate
Scenario 1: Guess at capacity factor of 30% Assume cost of coal-fired electricity is around
$0.06/kWh 2% annual escalation rate
Scenario 2: Determine rate ($/CO2) on the carbon market
required to be paid to the project developer (over 21 years) to achieve an 18% pre-tax IRR on equity
