All-inclusive operating cost amounts to $0.01/kWh. Electricity produced fromnatural gas in the same region costs $0.0464/kWh to produce.a. What is the levelized cost of electricity from the wind farmi in $/kWh?b. What production tax credit in $/kWh must be given for the wind farm to break even with the $0.0464/kWh price?c. Suppose instead of a production tax credit the windnd farm receives a one-time initial grant to reduce the capital cost.How large must the grant be in millions of dollars to break even?d. Suppose instead the project receives an interest rate buydown to lower the levelized cost. By what percent must theinterest rate be reduced from 5% to break even?e. Suppose that instead of reducing the levelized cost of wind energy, a carbon tax is applied to electricity from naturalgas to increase its levelized cost to the point where gas and wind break even. Using an average emissions rate of0.325 kg CO₂ per kWh for gas, what must the carbon tax be in charge per metric tonne of CO₂?
