abstract
A DEA framework is proposed to explore the differences in performance
of a set of wind farms, which involves two main promoters in
the Portuguese wind energy sector. The study investigates the efficiency
of the promoters in maximizing the energy produced from the
physical resources and the wind velocity available in each farm. The
overall performance of the two promoters is analyzed by comparing
their differences in terms of the efficiency spread and productivity between
their best-practice frontiers. Results may be used to support
decision makers in the establishment of regulation policies.

Fund through the COMPETE Programme (operational programme for

para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portuguese Foundation for Science and
Technology).
