Analysis Of Estimated Cost For Three Pacific Northwest Nuclear Power Plants

This report analyzes the cost estimates for three nuclear powerplants being 
constructed by Washington Public Power Supply System in the Pacific Northwest 
and compares their estimated cost with estimates made by Ebasco, a national 
nuclear engineering and construction firm. The large difference between the 
estimates is because

-- differences exist in the base construction period used to calculate power cost 
for the Public Power System (1972-1981) versus Ebasco (1978-1990) and

-- the Public Power System enjoys benefits as a publicly owned entity and can 
borrow capital at half the rate assumed by Ebasco for an investor-owned utility.

The Public Power System's capital construction costs, however, are higher per unit 
than several investor-owned nuclear projects with comparable operating dates.
