fin.electricity-cost-per-kwh Calculator
Calculates LCOE (Levelised Cost of Electricity) from fuel cost, fixed O&M, and heat rate, suitable for power generation asset comparison. LCOE allows direct cost comparison between gas, coal, nuclear, and renewables on a $/MWh basis despite different capital and fuel cost structures.
Inputs
Fuel Cost Per Mmbtu
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Heat Rate Btu Kwh
Amount per unit of time or per unit quantity. Check the denominator before interpreting.
Capacity Factor Pct
Maximum throughput or storage. Operating near 100% capacity typically increases failures and wait times.
Fixed Cost Mw Yr
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Capacity Mw
Maximum throughput or storage. Operating near 100% capacity typically increases failures and wait times.
Results
LCOE estimate ($/kWh)
The value at the specified point or condition.
fuel cost ($/kWh)
The total monetary cost computed for the given inputs.
fixed O&M ($/kWh)
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
