Benchmarking the winning ScotWind leases, how do they stack up?

With the ScotWind results starting to sink in, the winning developers now face a scramble to kick off studies and supply chain preparations, with an aim to deliver the first capacities around ~2030.

To give some direction on competitiveness, Aegir Insights has looked at LCoE benchmarking using public data sources with our Aegir Quant model.

Fixed-bottom ScotWind leases have lowest LCoE

Fixed-bottom sites dominate at the low end of the LCoE range, but floating sites are not far behind.

Despite attractive price levels due to excellent wind speeds, key uncertainties loom when looking into the crystal ball. They include the future of the UK grid charging regime, supply chain investment costs and offtake approach - either grid-connected or for production of hydrogen and PtX.

If interested to learn more about the journey to commercialize floating wind to 2030, reach out to hear more about our advanced market capacity models and project assessments through Aegir Quant.
