An offshore park of 100 large wind turbine is being constructed. All turbines are identical, and their power is 200 [kW]. It is located in a warm countries far from the coast and the average electricity production is 2000 [MWh] per turbine and will deliver electricity to 25000 houses each equipped with electrical chillers and having a total annual electricity demand of 12 [MWh] per house. This includes the electricity needed for the chillers. The investment price per offshore turbine is 4000 EUR/kW. The electricity is currently provided by the grid with an emission factor of 0.3 [kg] CO2-eq/kWe. What are the costs of saving 1 [kg] CO2 emissions by building this offshore park?
