Renewable revenue — SMP + REC

A renewable plant sells electricity at the SMP and certificates (RECs) on top. Each MWh earns RECs times its weight.

A formula, not a forecast — capacity factor and weight are your assumptions.

  • Capex, opex and tax — this is revenue, not profit
  • Contract terms such as fixed-price contracts
  • Hour-by-hour SMP — one value is used
  • Output lost to curtailment
