Notes

CAPEX is the overnight cost of building a power plant per KW (Gross, i.e. before parasitic load and load factor. Cost sources originally in Net form have been converted to Gross.)

Includes all kinds of solid fuel electricity generation with carbon capture and storage: pre and post combustion; coal and biomass fuelled.

Excludes the cost of fuel. See:

  1. Summary of coal cost data points
  2. Summary of imported biomass cost data points

Includes the cost of carbon capture, but not transport and storage. See:

  1. Summary of carbon transport cost data points
  2. Summary of carbon storage cost data points
