LCOE isLevelized Cost of Energy
A proposed wind project in Minnesota is estimated to have an average power output that is 35% of the capacity of the project (168 MW). The project is being financed over 20 years with 56% of the TIC = exist290 million financed via equity at a rate of 11% and 44% of the TIC financed via debt at a rate of 4%. The recurring costs include exist0.02/kWh plus an annual cost of 55039 each year....

A business wants to reduce its energy use. One option is to replace ten existing 50 watt fluorescent lights with ten new, 8 watt LED lights that provide the same amount and quality of lighting. The lights are used 12 hours per day, 250 days per year. The cost of electricity is $0.2/kWh. Each LED light costs $1 Assume the new lights last 10 years and that the time frame of the analysis is 10 years. Assume that the electricity...

4. For an energy source with constant energy production and no operating cost, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) per kilowatt hour (kWh) can be calculated as: annualized capital cost annual kWh production The annualized capital cost is like a mortgage payment, an annual cost that includes paying both the principle and interest (or opportunity cost of capital) over the life of a project. This can be calculated as: Annualized capital cost = K where K is the capital cost,...

Question The developer and owner of a shopping mall is planning to install solar PV panels on the roof top. Project Costs: The 100-kw system will cost $225,000 to install on 600 m2 of space available on the roof top. It will have a useful life 20 years and a salvage value of $2,000. Annual operations and maintenance cost will be $1,500. Energy output: Based on Singapore weather conditions, the system is capable of producing 170,000 kwh of electricity in...

1. Suppose a university has an opportunity to build a solar facility just outside of the city that would generate about 120,000 MWh per year (1 MWh = 1000 KWh), and cost $25 million to install. To determine if this is a good deal for the university, you need to analyze the economics. Assume the market price for electricity over the next five years is $48 per MWh and there is a 5-year project horizon. Evaluate this decision using a...

1. A proposed cost-saving project requires a device with an installed cost of $540,000. The project will last for five years. The device has a CCA rate of 20%. The required initial net working capital investment is $20,000, the marginal tax rate is 37%, and the required return on the project is 11%. The device has an estimated salvage value of $95,000 at the end of Year 5, and the net working capital investment will also be recovered at the...

Note the following: 1. For the initial cost estimate, assume that five robotic welders will save about $1 million per year which is equivalent to about 7 full time equivalent (FTE) highly skilled welders. 2. The purpose of the investment is to transition the welders to custom projects that provide high margins to the firm that...
