Evaluating investment into production of wind turbines
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.07.012-027
Abstract
Due to the special urgency of creation and commissioning of new production of renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies, the investment assessment of large-scale projects of development and implementation of such technologies is an extremely important issue. The present article is aimed at developing a method for evaluating investments in renewable energy sources. The paper analyzes the relevance of the problem of changing the structure of electricity generation to increase the share of low-carbon generation. The need for low-carbon generation capacity is determined. The criteria for selecting the location of wind power plants are considered. The cost and production cost of wind turbines in production has been studied. The economic efficiency of the investment project of wind turbine production is calculated. It is concluded that it is expedient to produce wind power plants in modern economic conditions. The method of investment evaluation proposed by the authors can be scaled to the processes of investment analysis of other projects related to renewable energy sources, including hydrogen energy.
