The Cost of Electricity is an essential tool for any researcher or practitioner seeking to establish the economic and environmental cost of power generation, and thereby to analyze the economic feasibility of power systems. Chapters cover capital cost, fuel cost, levelized cost, subsidies and tariffs, lifetime emission analysis, net energy analysis, traditional generation costs and renewable generation costs. The work is based on published analyses of generation costs and generation cost predictions from trusted organizations such as the US Energy Information Administration and the IEA.
