The difference in <br />investment cost between "Federal" and <br />"private" is occasioned by the difference <br />. tn. financing rate dudng the construction <br />period. <br /> <br />Base load unit heat rates were taken <br />from information reported in Forms 1 and <br />12 and other data on file in the FWRO. <br /> <br />Generating unit sizes were selected <br />for the study area according to sizes <br />which are under construction or planned <br />(assumptions on each of the alternatives <br />are attached). <br /> <br />Alternative Plant Capaci_y <br />Factors Range: <br /> <br />o - 15% combustion turbine station (oil-fired) <br />15.1 - 100% coal-fired station <br />60.0 - 100% base load nuclear station <br />
