22 Mllons Resuls Offshore wnd sands as he energy source wh he hghes economc poenal value (around mllon euros, wh an nvesmen sarng n 11 years) Annual elecrcy producon s around 20 TWh n all hree nvesmen cycles. The dscouned ne benefs from ar polluans reducon (15.6 bllon euros) are hree mes he value of reducons n CO2 emssons and cover half of he prvae coss (10 000) (20 000) Nearshore wnd energy deploymen se has a posve economc poenal value of around 433 mllon euros, wh an nvesmen sarng n 37 years.

23 Resuls (Domesc Benefs of Carbon Emssons) Snce CO2 s a global polluan, he benefs of reducng CO2 emssons are no fully appropraed by he counry responsble for ha reducon If we assume ha he range of domesc benefs of carbon emsson savngs s zero Nearshore wnd energy would no longer be profable from a socal perspecve Offshore wnd deploymen would sll be vable sarng n 14 years. 23

24 Resuls (Nearshore Wnd) Nearshore wnd s lkely no vable from a socal perspecve, because: 350% 300% 1. Marke condons whch we have assumed may change n he me span requred -> he opmal sarng year of he nvesmen s n 37 years (2049) 2.

The hgher he share of coal dsplaced, he more mporan ar polluon savngs become, as observed n he case of replacng a mx of coal (25%) and onshore wnd (75%) (S3) agans replacng exclusvely naural gas (S2). -60% Benchmark S1 (Average emsson facor) Prvae Coss Landscape Coss CO2 Benefs S2 (Naural gas) S3 (Coal + Onshore wnd) Prvae Revenues Ar Polluon Benefs 25

26 Resuls (Seleced Areas) There are many conflcng human uses a he sudy se. I s more relevan o calculae he poenal of offshore wnd energy deploymen n areas wh a hgher energy resource

27 Resuls (Seleced Areas) The norhern area records an economc poenal of 921 mllon euros wh he nvesmen sarng n 7 years (by 2019) Annual elecrcy producon s around 1,7 TWh n he frs cycle, ncreasng o 1,9 TWh n he hrd cycle An nvesmen n he souhern area can be profable n 6 years from he socal perspecve, recordng a socal value of mllon euros. Yearly elecrcy producon of 2,8 TWh n he frs, ncreasng o 3,2 TWh n he hrd cycle Norh Souh

28 Conclusons From a prvae perspecve, he nvesmen s never profable. However, akng no accoun he posve exernales assocaed wh offshore wnd energy, he nvesmen becomes vable Offshore wnd energy may be vable from 2023 onwards from a socal perspecve, dependng on many facors: Energy mx dsplaced: Offshore wnd energy s no longer vable from a socal perspecve f fossl fuels (e.g. Coal) n he dsplaced energy mx decrease Relably of he daa: here are ye no commercal scale projecs of offshore wnd energy Conflcng uses a he sudy se If so, here s scope for nervenon: To sar nvesng n 2023, a FT of 88 /MWh would suffce 28
