How do capital costs and CO2 prices impact power project economics?

This data-file summarizes the sensitivity of power projects to capital costs, across gas, coal, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro and hydrogen. We suspect many wind and solar projects are being financed at lower WACCs (c5%) than conventional gas projects (at c10%). The sensitivity of wind and solar projects to capital costs is also 4.5x higher.
