Cost of capital for wind onshore and PV investments mapped for South Eastern Europe

Countries can only benefit from a low weighted average cost of capital (WACC) on wind onshore and PV investments, if adequate support policies are in place. “WACC-aware” stable policy schemes have to be designed at national and European level to allow for adequate business cases and to trigger investments. These are the key findings of the ‘Pricetag project’ funded by the European Climate Foundation. The research was conducted by the coordinator Ecofys, eclareon, supported by Starfish Energy, and by EPU-NTUA involved as external contributor. ….
