An energy resource management assessment is conducted for a new offshore wind farm to determine its economic and environmental viability. The wind farm has an installed capacity of 150 MW150\text{ MW}150 MW and operates with an average capacity factor of 40% over its projected 20-year20\text{-year}20-year lifetime. The total energy required to manufacture, construct, maintain, and decommission the wind farm is estimated to be 5.256×105 MWh5.256 \times 10^5\text{ MWh}5.256×105 MWh.
