ΕWEA Online Economics Tool
01.08.2011

 

 

EWEA has developed an online tool which allows you to calculate and project the levelised cost of electricity generated by new gas, coal, nuclear, on- and offshore wind power plants. The levelised cost of electricity is defined as the actualized kWh cost over the whole lifetime of the project, taking into account the present value (2010) of all the cost components

Powering the Energy Debate

2010 was a year of many highs and some lows. One of the highs was the fact that the Member States’ National Renewable Energy Action Plans showed the EU to be en route to slightly exceed the 20% renewable energy target.

Similarly, the European Commission’s important communications on a 2020 strategy and on infrastructure priorities were steps towards a Europe-wide power grid and a functioning single electricity market.

EWEA reached out to a wider audience in 2010 through its ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ campaign. It communicated the benefits of wind energy through a visible presence in Brussels and beyond, including the display of a turbine blade and a photo exhibition in the EU quarter, as well as the array of events organised worldwide for Global Wind Day.

Design limits and solutions for very large wind turbines


20 Megawatt wind turbines are feasible, according to a new report from the EU-funded UpWind project. UpWind explored the design limits of upscaling wind turbines to 20 Megawatt (MW) and found that they would have rotor diameters of around 200 metres, compared to some 120 metres on today's 5 MW turbines.

Wind energy and the electricity grid


‘Powering Europe’ puts forward a well-argued case that there are no major technical barriers – but major economic benefits - to integrating large amounts of fuel- and pollution-free wind energy into Europe’s electricity grid.

Wind Energy & Electricity Prices
April 2010






Exploring the 'merit order effect'


The new literature review, prepared for EWEA by energy consultants Pöyry, shows that adding wind energy into the power mix has a significant influence on the resulting price of electricity - the so-called merit order effect (MOE) - whilst at the same time reducing CO2 emissions. The literature review brings together, for the first time, the findings of case-studies in Germany, Denmark and Belgium.
