On this week’s episode of #TruthtoPower, IntelStor's Founder & CEO, Philip Totaro presents an update on some of the analysis IntelStor has completed on #windenergy asset profitability & the prospects for the O&M market in the USA.

A high power purchase agreement (PPA) price and a high net capacity factor (NCF) typically leads to high profitability. High NCF definitely has an impact on the energy yield benchmarking independent of PPA price.

But some assets with a high PPA price and poor technical performance can still turn a profit for an owner. While we make a big deal about technical performance, there are a number of projects which have fantastic technical performance but a low PPA price that is causing them to see a challenge to achieving a financial breakeven.

Now that PPA prices are trending up, partly due to the loss of the PTCs, this should have a beneficial impact on asset profitability.

Have a listen today, and get in touch with your best questions about the #renewableenergy market in the USA or any other country around the world.
