Impact of Capital Structure on Geothermal Binary Cycle Power Costs under Corporate Finance with 10-Year Debt 8 7 6 5 4 3 B 2 1 0 A C Base Case (10-Year Debt) Base Case (30-Year Debt) PTC Case Phantom Income constraint in the Base Case. Phantom Income constraint in the PTC Case. 50% 75% 100% Capital Structure (% Equity) 0% 25% Figure 2: Impact of Capital Structure on Geothermal Binary Cycle Power Costs under Corporate Finance. 3.2.2 Flashed-Steam The results for flashed-steam technology under a Corporate Finance arrangement are presented in Table 7. These results are consistent with those for binary cycle technology except that all of the LCOE values are lower because flashed-steam plants have lower equipment costs than binary cycle plants. As shown in Table 1, the total capital cost of a flashed-steam project is assumed to be $1,444/kW (1997 $'s) compared to a cost of $2,112 (1997 $'s) for binary cycle technology. Flashed-steam projects do have higher O&M costs (2.00 cents/kWh versus 1.75 cents/kWh for binary cycle,) but the difference is not enough to overcome the reduced capital cost.

Tax Policy Case Base Case ITC Case PTC Case Real LCOE Nominal LCOE Equity Percentage 34% 39% 30% 4.3 4.1 2.3 5.1 5.0 2.7 As shown in Table 7, the real LCOE for a flashed-steam plant, assuming the project is financed with 34% equity is 4.3 cents/kWh in the Base Case. In the ITC Case, which represents the current policy environment, the real LCOE is 4.1 cents/kWh, assuming the project is financed with 39% equity. And, in the PTC Case, the real LCOE is 2.3 cents/kWh assuming the project is financed with 30% equity. 9 Real Levelized Cost of Electricity (2001 cents/kWh)
