Will improvements in foundation design reduce electricity costs in Greenland?
However, in the future, if improvements in foundation design can be made, the improvements may significantly increase the FLH and thus may offer lower electricity costs. FLH of wind power on all area of Greenland is h, or 26% higher than on ice-free only area.
Are microgrids a capex project?
There are both benefits and challenges with classifying microgrids as CAPEX projects. One of the biggest benefits is taking direct advantage of applicable federal and state tax credits and incentive programs.
