Capital Cost

← Previous | Next →

The Capital Cost parameter screen allows you to specify capital costs that affect the overall plant. It is the same for all plant types.

The following parameters are provided:

•Construction Time: This is the idealized construction period in years. It is used to determine the allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC). The construction time for individual technologies will be set to this number by default. (See Capital Cost Inputs.)

•Financing Cost: This parameter covers the cost of securing financing (e.g., fees and closing costs).

•Other Owner's Costs: This parameter measures an additional lumped cost, including preliminary feasibility studies, economic development, construction and/or improvement of roads and/or railroad spurs outside of site boundary, legal fees, permitting costs, owner's engineering, and owner's contingency. This parameter is site and owner specific.
