A different look at capital costs in the USA is
provided by the figures in Table 13. These are
based on Lazard’s most recent analysis of
electricity costs . While broadly similar to
those in Table 12, there are notable
differences.

As in the US EIA analysis, Lazard found that
the cheapest plants to build were those based
on gas turbines. A combined cycle power plant
had an estimated cost of $1,162/kW (the
figures in the table are un-weighted averages
of the ranges quoted by Lazard and in most
cases plants can cost both significantly more
and significantly less). A peaking gas turbine,
meanwhile, has a cost of $900/kW. Both
figures are somewhat higher than those in
Table 12.

Methodology:
Secondary research
This has been conducted by Paul Breeze – an energy specialist for 25 years. He has gathered
together an unique set of studies and research papers to present a comprehensive cost analysis of
power generation. In all, the databook cites over 30 separate sources to determine the economic
competitiveness and future potential for power generation technologies.
