Diesel	Dry Gas	Liquid Gas	Conclusions
Cost of kWh in a combined cycle plant	10 cents/kWh	4 cents/kWh	2.4 cents/kWh (high uncertainty factor due to unstable shipping costs, etc.)
Generation Cost of 1,000 MW for 10 years	> 5 Billion Dollars	< 2.5 Billion Dollars	< 2.5 Billion Dollars	Theoretically Overall cost of LNG Plant may be recovered within less than 6 years if diesel is continued, yet unstable shipping costs, high capital investment, and high operation cost render the dry gas option more favorable in the present time.
Base value 1,000 MW for 10 years = 1000 MW x 1000 kW/MW x 24 hrs x 365 days x 10 years x 0.6 Load factor = 5.3x10^10 kWh	Generation using Diesel 5.3x10^10x0.1 = 5.3 Billion$ (excl maint)	Generation using Dry Gas 5.3x10^10x0.04 = 2.1 Billion $ (excl maint)	Generation using LNG 5.3x10^10x0.024 = 1.27 Billion $
			Cost of LNG Plant = 300 Million$
			Operation and Maintenance cost (20% annually) = 50 Million $/year x 10 years = 500 Million$
			TOTAL = 1,272 + 300 + 500 = 2.1 Billion$
Loss Encountered as a Result of Loss of Largest Turbine in Nation	218 MW
Actual Capacity in 2004	1,685 MW
