NOTES:<br />

1. (a) Invest<strong>or</strong>; (b) Developer; (c) Backers.<br />

2. Based on an estimate <strong>of</strong> $400/kWe.<br />

3. Based on $51M in 1991 dollars with 2%/year escalation. (Note: Today’s turbomachinery cost is less than in 1991, thus actual cost<br />

today is about $360/kWe <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> salt geology).<br />

4. Actual construction time was 2.5 yrs.<br />

5. Approval process began in early 2001; first 300 MWe expected to be operational in 2003.<br />

6. During 2000-2002; overall availability since <strong>com</strong>missioning is 90% due to earlier problems now remedied.<br />

7. In the years 2000 to 2002<br />
