Question about
Case
I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

Unit error in profitability calculation

I think it's supposed to read 20,000 KWh rather than GWh in the additional information for step 3. 

The candidate can calculate with a power-producing rate of 20,000 GWh per annum per wind turbine

Hi there,

You are correct!

The exhibit shows 20,000 KwH not Gwh

Also, 20,000 Gwh is an insane number! For reference, all global renewable energy production in 2020 was 2,800 GwH!
