Abstract
Systems and methods for shifting risk in investments in wind power generation are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, methods for shifting at least a portion of an investment risk in a wind power generation project include calculating a return floor amount associated with the wind power generation project, accepting a premium payment amount from an investor in the wind power generation project, and for each of an agreed period within an agreed term, paying the investor a difference between the return floor amount and a realized amount if the return floor amount is greater than the realized amount.
