An interactive model of how wind, generation and power sales flow through an onshore wind farm — and how load factor, power prices and the contracted share convert into annual revenue, EBITDA and asset value for an investor.
Wind turns the turbines; the power runs through array cables to an on-site substation and onto the grid. Generation rides the load factor, and revenue splits between price-stabilised contracted (CfD/PPA) income and volatile merchant sales. Near-zero running cost means very high margins — but cash flow depends on the wind and the power price. Adjust the drivers and watch it build EBITDA and value.
Year-1 financials flow live from the simulation above: revenue £0 and EBITDA £0 p.a. Set your deal terms below — the unlevered IRR (asset return) and levered IRR (return to equity, after debt) recompute instantly.
Illustrative model. Represents a ~90 MW onshore wind farm operating 24×365. Revenue = generation × price, with a contracted share sold at an indexed CfD/PPA strike (~£45/MWh) and the balance sold merchant at the wholesale power price. Near-zero running cost; opex is largely fixed (O&M, land lease, transmission, insurance). EBITDA = revenue − operating costs. The investment case is a simplified DCF: unlevered IRR discounts free cash flow to the firm (EBITDA − cash tax − capex) plus an exit on the EV/EBITDA multiple; levered IRR is the equity cash flow after debt drawn at entry, interest and amortisation. Onshore wind has a lower load factor (~30%) but lower capex and opex than offshore. Excludes construction, transaction costs and refinancing. For illustration only — not investment advice, and not any specific asset.
