Energy Cost Calculator:

The following cost calculators compute the level annual cost of energy in both current and constant dollars for different energy facilities using a revenue requirements methodology. Below are several examples downloadable as Excel spreadsheets.  To use the calculators, replace the default input values with your own values. Please note these calculators are intended to be simple and easy to use; there are many more complex models that should be used for more in depth analyses.

Generic biomass power plant model
Combined heat and power model
Biomass gasification/power generation model
Biogas model
Landfill gas-to-energy model
Hydrogen model
