40 PROJECT ECONOMICS<br />

6. Project economics<br />

It is a delicate task to make a precise cost calculation be<strong>for</strong>e the procurement process has<br />

been completed. In addition, there are uncertainties about future electricity and certifi cate<br />

prices. With this in mind, an estimation of the most important project key numbers is pre-<br />

sented below.<br />

Average electricity price 300 SEK/MWh<br />

Average certifi cate price 300 SEK/Mwh<br />

Total capacity installed 640 MW<br />

Total investment cost 10 300 000 000 SEK<br />

Investment cost per annual kWh 5,00 SEK<br />

Investment cost per kW 16 000 SEK<br />

Estimated total electricity production 50 250 000 MWh<br />

IRR 10 %<br />

Capacity factor 36 %<br />

O & M cost per MWh 93SEK<br />

O & M cost as percentage of revenue 15 %<br />

• The following remarks<br />

must be made:<br />

• In respect of investment costs, the numbers<br />

are based on a “worst case scenario”, in the<br />

sence that, when in doubt, we have used<br />

a high number. More competition is soon<br />

expected <strong>for</strong> offshore wind turbines that will<br />

lead to lower prices.<br />

• Also <strong>for</strong> the electricity price, a worst case<br />

scenario has been assumed. The number <strong>for</strong><br />

the electricity production is taken from the<br />

worst of three wind studies.<br />

• The electricity and certiÞ cate prices used<br />

here are much lower than estimates made by<br />

most experts.<br />

In conclusion, even whith several worst case<br />

scenario numbers included in the economic<br />

projections, the project will become proÞ table.
