Generation costs: nuclear, coal, gas, renewables
The aim of the analysis is to assess the most advantageous technological options for electricity generation from the perspective of the total costs incurred by society.
The study will include the latest estimates regarding the costs of electricity generation for a wide range of technologies that are being considered for deployment
in the foreseeable future. Only those technologies that are currently at an advanced stage of development, enabling their commercial application, as well as those for which such a level is expected to be achieved in the next several years, will be taken into account.
The offered analysis will take the form of a report containing the following elements:
Description of the methodology used in the work.
Set of assumptions for the analysis regarding:
considered technologies for electricity generation and their potential commercial availability up to the year 2050,
unit investment and operational costs for individual technologies,
fuel prices,
costs of CO2 emission allowances,
technical parameters of the considered technologies,
construction time of generating units representing a given technology,
discount rate and cost of capital.
Calculations of unit costs of generation discounted to the year of commissioning based on the assumptions made in the considered variant
Sensitivity analysis of the results of the analysis to changes in key parameters based
on the principle of ceteris paribus (investment outlays, discount rate, capacity factor CF, fuel cost, cost of purchasing CO2 emission allowances)Summary and conclusions.
