Analysis of the value creation potential of wind energy policies. Ernst & Young Study

This study compares two energy technologies, Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and wind energy generation, by taking into account their direct costs (micro-economic analysis) as well as their impacts on the economy (macroeconomic analysis).

The results of the study show that despite a higher up-front cost in €/MWh, wind technology triggers higher returns for the domestic economy by generating local added value and job creation.
