The timing of curtailment
changes its commercial impact.
Explore how a headline energy-loss percentage can translate into a different revenue impact. All inputs are illustrative assumptions, not a project forecast.
A simplified adjustment for when curtailment occurs relative to revenue. 1× treats lost energy and lost revenue equally.
Illustrative only: the demo reduces curtailment in direct proportion to this input. Actual queue effects depend on the network.
Energy loss is only
part of the picture.
Gross revenue reduction is capped at 100% in this simplified model.
This is the present value of a gross revenue reduction, not a change in enterprise value. Costs, tax, financing, inflation and operating responses are excluded.
A simple illustration.
A transparent calculation.
Effective curtailment equals headline energy curtailment multiplied by one minus assumed attrition. The revenue-weighting multiplier then converts that percentage into a gross revenue reduction, capped at 100%.
Annual gross revenue equals capacity in MW × 1,000 × the selected £/kW/year input. The present value discounts the same annual revenue loss at the end of each year over the selected project life.
The demo does not model site-specific constraints, dispatch, ANM logic, queue priority or reinforcement timing. In a real assessment, those dependencies determine whether attrition changes the constraint at all and how the asset can respond.
