Municipal Solid Waste to Power Project Finance Model

The energy technology expert is pleased to offer to its readers, project developers, project investors, loan and funding institutions a state-of-the-art project finance model for municipal solid waste (MSW) to power using the biomass gasification technology.

Place your order now and avail of hefty discount (50%) and buy only for $1,500 only and proceed immediately with your project development of MSW to power. Use this model to determine the IRR given the tons per day capacity, garbage tipping fee and electricity tariff. Email your order now to get the discount and I’ll email you back my bank details for remitting the payment so you get immediately your project finance model.

The MSW may come in free into the power plant or the local government units (LGUs) may pay garbage tipping fees as additional income on top of the feed-in tariff income of the power plant from the national government.

The byproduct high-density residue (over 2 MT per CUM) which is excellent road pavement and sea shoreline reinforcement material could also provide additional revenues.

The user inputs the tons per day (100 to 400 MT/day) of MSW. More »

New Simplified Calculation Procedure for Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Feed-in Tariff

As part of the on-going technical preparations for the proposed mini-conference on the Mindanao Power Crisis this coming late August or early September 2010 and the main conference on “Energy & Climate Change”, the workshop coordinator, Mr. Marcial T. Ocampo, has prepared the simplified calculation procedure for calculating the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and levelized selling price (tariff) for conventional and renewable energy resources.

The result of the simplified formulas using the US NREL formula for generation cost and the RP MTO formula for selling price were compared with the results from a full-blown project finance model and the variance between the two methods were minimal in most of the power generation technologies analyzed.

The input data came from the IEPR research summary of 2007 and from internationally published data on power generation technology by noted experts such as Paul Breeze and yours truly, Marcial Ocampo. More »

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to Power Project

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to Power Project

This is a power point presentation with a project finance model for calculating feed-in tariff (FiT).

The FiT is a renewable energy charge paid to renewable energy (RE) developers for providing power to the grid.  It is paid for by the Transco operator who collects a renewable energy charge (REC) from all consumers of electricity in the country.  By being spread out to all consumers, the burden of a higher FiT compared to the average grid rate is shared equally by all citizens and consumers alike since they will benefit from the positive impact of RE on global warming and climate change issues.
