AI summary The costed option analysis compares various hydroelectric options, with new units showing the most attractive potential. Preliminary numbers suggest that new units, particularly the 3.39 m3/s (70%) DIVE option, could be viable, especially with government loan and grant support.

We observe that the optimistic scenario is very similar to what we originally estimated. Now, the most pessimistic scenario is too pessimistic that in fact is not realistic, especially considering the original flow duration curves for both...

AI summary The text discusses financial analyses of two hydroelectric projects, Beaverbank and Cornwallis, using extrapolated data. It mentions the addition of costs for a new draft tube and transformer, and provides payback periods for both projects. The analysis focuses on the most probable scenario, with optimistic and pessimistic estimates considered.

AI summary Table 2 presents results for the CANYON unit under three different water flow scenarios. The table includes metrics such as capacity, electricity production, costs, and payback periods. The results show relatively similar outcomes compared to the NORCAN case, with higher returns on investment (ROIs) in this case. The speaker indicates they would proceed similarly to the other case.

For the Like for Like option we did a similar approach, simulating what would be the energy and financial model for the three cases already mentioned. Being exactly the same flow duration curves and exactly the same procedure for each case...

AI summary The Like for Like option involves simulating energy and financial models for three cases with identical flow duration curves and procedures. No additional costs for new infrastructure are incurred, but there is no access to grants due to no increase in renewable energy capacity. A line of credit covering 50% of the costs at 8% is included in the study.
