Cost-Effectiveness of Distributed Generation Technologies 3.2.4 Levelized Results For each of the tests, the costs and the benefits for a DG technology installed in year X (e.g., year 2010) were calculated for each year of the life of the technology. These benefits and costs were brought to the present value from when the device was installed and then these benefits were converted to equal amounts for the life of the measure or levelized. We chose to have the costs levelized in order to be similar to the E3 cost-effectiveness model used for the NEM and for the CSI. 3.2.5 Modified Internal Rate of Return The SGIPce model also calculates the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). The MIRR is a financial evaluation of an investment’s attractiveness and can be used to rank alternative investments. As the name indicates, the MIRR is a modification of the more common internal rate of return (IRR) calculation. The MIRR calculation is preferred to the IRR for two reasons. First, the MIRR assumes that the positive cash flows of the investment or DG technology are reinvested by the firm at the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC), while the IRR assumes that the positive cash flows are reinvested at the IRR of the original investment. If the original investment had a high IRR it is highly unlikely that the cash flows from the project will also find an equally good investment opportunity. Using the MIRR will produce a lower and more realistic evaluation of the project’s forecasted rate of return. Second, the IRR calculation can produce multiple and incorrect results if the cash flows from the project begin negative (initial capital investment), turn toward a positive cash flow, and then experience negative cash flow, as was the case of some technologies in years generally more than five years out from the initial installation. The MIRR calculation can accurately calculate the rate of return for projects with these dynamic cash flows. Investments where the MIRR exceeds the firm’s weighted average cost of capital are typically considered good investment opportunities for the firm.
