Performance assessment of Portuguese wind farms: Ownership and managerial efficiency

Carlos Barros and Olinda Sequeira Antunes

Energy Policy, 2011, vol. 39, issue 6, 3055-3063

Abstract: This paper analyzes ownership and unobserved managerial ability as factors affecting the performance of a representative sample of Portuguese wind farms by means of frontier models. These farms are ranked according to their technical efficiency during the period 2004-2008 and homogenous and heterogeneous variables are disentangled in the cost function, which leads us to advise the implementation of common policies as well as policies by segments. Economic implications arising from the study are also considered.
