Wind Power Project Repowering: Financial Feasibility, Decision Drivers, and Supply Chain Effects
- National Renewable Energy Lab. (NREL), Golden, CO (United States)
As wind power facilities age, project owners are faced with plant end of life decisions. This report is intended to inform policymakers and the business community regarding the history, opportunities, and challenges associated with plant end of life actions, in particular repowering. Specifically, the report details the history of repowering, examines the plant age at which repowering becomes financially attractive, and estimates the incremental market investment and supply chain demand that might result from future U.S. repowering activities.
