RE Zoning Tools update v1.6 available
We updated Script Tool B-3 (Calculate project area attributes) to include the ability to apply an annual degradation of generation output (e.g., 1% annual degradation rate) and fixed O&M cost escalation (e.g., 2% annual cost increase) in LCOE calculations. If an annual degradation rate is applied, then the annual electricity generation output (“egen” field) will be an estimated average across the lifetime of the power plant.
