Notes

Investment Cost = Overnight cost of constructing and connecting a wind turbine/farm, Note: costs per kw are net of own use, therefore the cost per kw is cost of electricity supplied to grid

Operating cost = Average annual operating cost of a wind turbine/farm, excluding fuel costs (treated elsewhere)
