Economic feasibility analysis of a renewable energy project in the rural China

Jin Yang, Weichao Chen, Bin Chen, Yan Jia · 2012 · Procedia Environmental Sciences

Summary. This paper analyzes the economic feasibility of a wind farm project in rural China using cost-benefit analysis under three scenarios: current conditions, government subsidies, and Clean Development Mechanism credits. The findings show wind power generation reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to alternative power systems and offers attractive returns for investors. The authors recommend government subsidies and CDM programs as effective mechanisms to accelerate wind power development.
