Applying the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) to the 9.5 GW Offshore Wind Farm, North Sea, The Netherlands
A SAVi analysis comparing a 9.5 GW offshore wind farm in the North Sea to a 9.5 GW coal plant finds that while coal appears more profitable under business-as-usual conditions, offshore wind is significantly more attractive when accounting for externalities and climate risks. Under a scenario including a 1.5°C temperature increase and a carbon tax of EUR 16.27/MWh, the coal plant's internal rate of return (IRR) drops to 0%, while the wind farm maintains an IRR of 16.61% and a lower levelized cost of electricity (EUR 65.22/MWh vs EUR 185.92/MWh for coal).
