Investment analysis for wind energy projects

Resumo

Financial and economic evaluations are the main features of a feasibility study. Financial evaluation would look mainly into the money aspects of the project and its rewards and financial profitability to the investors. Whereas a financial study can usually be undertaken by a financial analyst(s) and engineers, an economic evaluation study demands the involvement of economic and environmental disciplines and analysis that is beyond the proficiency of most engineers, accountants and financial analysts. In this paper are also characterized the assessment indicators and economic-financial management of projects implemented renewable energy exclusively for onshore wind energy systems. All indicators presented should be used in economic engineering analysis to meet specific information needs for decision making in situations of investment opportunity for renewable energy projects.
