Highlights
In terms of economic profit the average range of ROI increases with the scale of the
renewable energy project. With capacity above 1,000kW or a 1MW, returns are usually
above 10% to 15%. At the smaller scale due to the construction costs and the reduction in
efficiency of the resource harvesting, ROIs are typically 2% to 8%.
As a result of the uncertainty and technical risk of many renewable technologies,
maintenance costs are high, especially for large-scale projects. Nascent stage Wave energy
is estimated to have a maintenance cost of GBP207,605 per MW. In comparison off-shore
wind has a maintenance cost of GBP70,000 per MW.
Regarding costs, there is still much debate as to who should pay for the reinforcement costs
to the grid of renewable energy. A country such as Denmark, for example, makes TSOs and
DSOs cover the costs of reinforcement. In many other markets, the main issue is that there
individual countries lack a coherent master-plan for grid reinforcement.
