AI summary The document discusses wind energy costs ($2,000/kW with 2% annual declines), NB Transmission costs ($400M for 345kV upgrades), and capacity cost estimates. It references Synapse's analysis of fuel cost mechanisms (FCM) and compares NE Market clearing prices (e.g., $6.61/kW in 2020). Transmission cost reductions are suggested through partial infrastructure builds.
