This paper examines strategic investment between two firms that compete not only for investment timing but also for capacity under stochastic market demand. The value functions of real option for the follower, the dominant leader, and the preemptive leader are derived and their investment decisions are investigated. It finds that both firms will delay investment and the delayed margin of the follower will surpass that of the leader under greater uncertainty. Furthermore, both firms will provide more outputs in the face of increasing uncertainty and the growth rate of the follower’s capacity will exceed that of the leader’s. In addition, this paper finds that the follower will end up with a larger capacity than the leader.

China government will introduce the Renewable Portfolios Standards (RPS) to promote the wind power accommodation. As a result, investors face three sources of uncertainty, namely, investment costs, electricity prices and subsidies. This paper adopts a real options approach to analyze investment timing and capacity choice for wind power projects considering these uncertainties under RPS. Simulation results indicate that lower investment costs encourage earlier investment, and higher electricity prices and subsidies create incentives for earlier investment and larger capacity of wind power projects. Besides, the proposed model can be used by policy makers to make appropriate policies.
