Financing conditions of renewable energy projects – results from an EU wide survey

The dataset contains data related to financing conditions and costs of capital for onshore wind, solar PV and offshore wind within the EU. It provides data on minimum, maximum and average country and technology-specific values on costs of debt, debt service coverage ratios, loan tenors, debt size, costs of equity and WACC values. The data was collected between September 2019 and April 2020.

The data contains values for onshore wind in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden. Furthermore, it contains values for solar PV in Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Spain. Finally, it also contains values for offshore wind in Belgium, France, Germany and UK. 

The PDF files are survey questionnaires that were used for the data collection. This includes 1) a survey questionnaire used in an exploratory research phase, in which we identified the most relevant research aspects related to the impacts of auctions on costs of capital and financing 2) a survey questionnaire used for the focus-group countries (Germany, Denmark, Spain, Portugal and Greece), which includes a list of more extensive qualitative questions and 3) a survey questionnaire used for the focus-group countries (all other EU member states) and which focused only on collecting the quantitative data.
