<br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />Figure 11. 30-year life cycle operational cost comparison <br />5.3.3. NET PRESENT VALUE <br />A net present value (NPV) analysis was conducted based on a 30-year life cycle cost analysis from 2027 <br />through 2057. The analysis, summarized in Figure 12, included capital costs and operational costs. Scenario <br />3, decentralized geothermal, has the lowest net present value, making it the most financially advantageous <br />investment over the 30-year period. This is primarily attributed to the IRA funding being applied to the in- <br />building equipment. Scenario 1, district energy for the entire RCC development, has the highest net present <br />value as it incurs the full cost of in-building equipment. <br /> <br />$97 <br />$72 $69 <br />$60 <br />$0 <br />$20 <br />$40 <br />$60 <br />$80 <br />$100 <br />$120 <br />Business as Usual - <br />Natural Gas & Electric <br />Scenario 1: District <br />Energy - Entire <br />Development <br />Scenario 2: District <br />Energy - Town Center <br />Scenario 3: <br />Decentralized <br />Geothermal <br />Life Cycle Operational Cost (MM$)
