Study Objective To characterize the current and future comparative economic costs of generation from renewable and fossil fuel-fired electricity generation technologies configured to suit off-grid, mini-grid and grid applications (50 W to 500 MWs)
Fuel Prices • Estimated by Study team, based on World Energy Outlook 2005(IEA), International Energy Outlook (DOE) and World Bank. • Fuel cost include transportation cost and refinery cost.(Gasoline:50%, LO: 40%) • Base crude oil : 38$/bbl

Many Coal generation options; best choice depends on fuel costs and environmental requirements Coal Steam subcritical 300MW (CF=80%) Coal AFBC 300MW (CF=80%) Coal IGCC 300MW (CF=80%) Coal Steam subcritical 500MW (CF=80%) Coal Steam SC 500MW (CF=80%) Coal Steam USC 500MW (CF=80%) Coal AFBC 500MW (CF=80%) Coal IGCC 500MW (CF=80%)
Advanced generation options have considerable potential • Supercritical PC offers higher efficiency and lower risk with potential for further improvements • AFBC is competitive especially with low quality fuels • IGCC economics are expected to improve 500 MW Plant
Factors being taken into account • Fuel price forecasts • Technology development trends • Grid connection costs and issues • Risks • Climate change considerations
