What is good wind analysis
News, views and insights
In the dynamic landscape of offshore wind energy, operational expenditure (OPEX) has emerged as a critical concern for industry stakeholders, and for years, K2 Management has closely monitored OPEX as it comes under pressure within the sector. This pressure stems from various factors, including expiring secured tariffs and the overarching goal of reducing Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE), evident in the upcoming auctions where cost assumptions are poised to shift. .
As a proven and reliable source of renewable energy, offshore wind is gaining momentum via government backing across the globe and increased technological investment. The expansion of offshore wind farms continues to grow at pace, with total worldwide capacity set to stand at 630 GW by 2050.

While operational assets are not subject to the same licensing, construction and commissioning risks as pre-construction projects, they do still present significant pitfalls related to long-term energy yield.
We regularly conduct operational analysis that uncovers flawed projections, resulting in revenue over-estimates of hundreds of thousands of pounds per year.
Likewise, we sometimes see the reverse which can present valuation opportunities.
