Winter Hill Wind Farm Investment & Design
Imperial College London
MSc Sustainable Energy Futures
Year
2025
As part of a group project, I helped design a utility-scale wind farm in Scotland, focusing on both technical performance and financial viability. I led the energy yield calculations, ran sensitivity analyses, and assessed investment metrics like LCOE and IRR.
This experience taught me how to balance engineering feasibility with commercial realities. Our proposal received a distinction for both technical depth and strategic clarity.
Skills gained: Financial modelling (NPV, IRR, LCOE), wind resource modelling, investment appraisal, teamwork
