Wind energy economy
The project endeavoured to calculate electricity generation costs in modern onshore wind turbines. At average operating costs of DKK 0.08/0.10/kWh, production costs per kWh can be calculated at DKK 0.33/0.56, depending on local wind conditions at the site for a private investor aiming at a repayment period of 10 years. A socio-economic calculation with a repayment period of 20 years, corresponding to the expected lifetime of a wind turbine, shows a spread of DKK 0.23 and 0.38. In comparison, the kWh price from Rødsand II is DKK 0.629.
