Task Specification
You will take the role of a consultant
employed by the developer of a new generation project. This document contains
information about the electricity supply system for three countries and a range
of electricity generation technologies. Your client wishes to develop a new
project using in one of these countries using a specific technology with a
defined capital budget. Your task is to carry out an appraisal, including
financial and non-financial aspects to specify the project. Your appraisal
should:
• Provide your client with an overview
of the physical process which the technology uses to generate electricity
• Determine the viability of the
business case for the project using appropriate metrics
• Identify its role within the system
and any risks or wider issues associated with the project.
While the specified technology is the
preferred option, your client is open to alternative proposals if these would
provide a better return on their investment and/or better meet the needs of the
system. You should propose an alternative project by:
• Assessing the role fulfilled by the
existing generators in the system and to what extent they meet the system needs
in terms of a) supplying the baseload, intermediate, and peak demand; and b)
ensuring an affordable, sustainable, and reliable supply of electricity.
• Identifying any gaps in the existing
system
• Identify an alternative technology
which can help to address these issues.

its lifetime. You should calculate the lifetime cost, cost-benefit ratio,
payback period, internal rate of return, and levelized cost of electricity. The
price of electricity should be estimated based on the current market conditions
within your system. Present your results in a table with brief discussion, and
provide details of the calculations in an appendix.
Non-financial appraisal (10%)
Discuss factors other than purely
financial considerations that your client should be aware of. Consider at least
the environmental, social, and political circumstances surrounding these
technologies.
Assessment of System Needs (15%)

needs of the system? Provide an assessment of the system needs in terms of:
• Affordability
• Sustainability (including CO2
emissions)
• Security of Supply
• Operability
Alternative technologies (15%)
Provide a brief review of an alternative
technology which would better meet the needs of the system. Identify the key
differences between this and the technology specified by your client.
Recommendation (10%)
Advise your client on what they should
do next and identify any uncertainties in your appraisal that should be
assessed in more detail to gain a more complete picture of the decision to be
made. Use evidence from the report to justify your recommendation.

quantities (including those above) across a wide range of magnitudes in the
International System of units (SI).
4. The effect of the time value of money
on investments in long-term projects, as characterised by energy system
technologies.
5. Project financial appraisal measures;
lifetime cost, cost-benefit ratio, payback period, internal rate of return,
unit production cost.
