  • Abstract
    This study aims to explore the overall cost of electricity generation in the connected network of power plants and propose a financial framework for its calculation. Although, cost calculations are often run by each individual power plant investor, such calculations are not usually conducted with a holistic view of a nation-wide network of power plants. The proposed model is based on Levelized Cost Method, which can be extended to other countries by substituting the underlying data.
