Offshore wind in the German Renewable Energy Act of 2012: Additional profit from Market Value?

The 2012 German Renewable Energy Act provides incentives for offshore wind power through the introduction of an optional “compression model”. The model increases the initial remuneration for wind power by 40 €/MWh. In return, the minimum term of the increased initial remuneration is reduced from twelve to eight years. According to the Renewable Energy Act, power will then be remunerated with 35 €/MWh. Therefore, wind power is likely instead to be sold at higher prices on the wholesale market. The optional compression, which can be considered essentially profitable, becomes even more attractive due to direct marketing. The future development of wholesale prices therefore becomes a decisive economical factor for the concerned projects. As such, potential wholesale revenues need to be assessed adequately.
