Real Options Analysis for Ørsted Offshore Wind Expansion. Expert-level challenge in analysis. Analyzing real datasets and building models that drive decision...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How much value does optionality add to Ørsted's US offshore wind investment, and what staging policy maximizes shareholder value?
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst 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, 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."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply real options theory to capital-intensive infrastructure investment
- Compare and contrast NPV and ROV decision frameworks under uncertainty
- Implement Longstaff-Schwartz or lattice methods for American-style project options
- Translate quantitative optionality into board-level investment policy
