Overview
What this challenge is about.
Carbon Tax Impact on a Spanish Solar Farm. Expert-level challenge in analysis. Analyzing real datasets and building models that drive decisions, earn a block...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How will a €50/tCO2 carbon tax affect the competitiveness of a solar farm versus natural gas, and what strategic responses should the farm consider?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst or data scientist does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, incomplete, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
