During the 50-dollar oil deal in the wind
March 26th, 2009
The decision-makers should be taking into account the fact that the production cost of wind energy, is less exposed to changes in commodity prices – the Commission on Monday, the European wind energy association (EWEA).
While a kilowatt hour of energy extraction szeleromuvekkel “more expensive” than fossil energy – coal or gas – the advantages are so significant as to justify the greater use of wind power in most European countries.
The fuel volatility risk is not taken into account when comparing costs of different modes of energy generation – lobbicsoport pointed out in the report. It is the application of this approach is the International Energiaugynoksegnel Agency (IEA), the European Commission, or levels of government – the state, adding that the methods borrowed pénzügytanból these risks could be included in the költségösszehasonlításba.
The wind energy sector is also the world economy suffers a crisis of credit elapadása hinders the development of the low oil prices also weakened by the wind as an energy source of the competitiveness of the gas.
Christian Kjær, EWEA, the manager of a $ 50 barrel of oil to the cheaper coal-fired power plants, as wind power production, but if hozzászámítjuk coal and oil price risks arising from fluctuations in the wind you can be a more attractive option.
While it is true that the energy companies to take this risk into account, but if fuel prices go up, the additional costs passed on to consumers – “he said. The predictability of wind speed due to a period of twenty years of 97-99 per cent likely to be known in advance, how much will it cost to generate energy – it showed.
EWEA, the European Union, according to the energy consumed is just over 4 per cent of wind power.
