Calculate a wind project's cost of electricity

A wind energy power project is an electricity generation investment that produces electricity at an average cost of electricity that is based on technology, location and financial assumptions. In this application from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) you create new (or modify an existing) project by entering values for numerous assumptions step-by-step, until enough information has been entered to calculate the project's cost of electricity. The projects that you add or modify will be stored for your convenience and will be available to you the next time you login. An asterisk at the end of a project name means that the project is visible to all users and cannot be modified by a single user.
