Examples / Case Studies
The following studies and projects illustrate our areas of expertise:
Benchmarking of wind and biomass-based electricity production conditions in France, Italy, Belgium, Spain
This study consisted in comparing the wind and biomass incentive schemes and regulatory systems in force in these countries. It provided a detailed and complete analysis of the feed-in tariff schemes and green certificates, with a profitability analysis of a "generic" wind farm and biomass-based generation unit of 10 MW, with an average nominal output of 2000, 2800 and 5000 yearly hours, respectively.
