Running The Numbers For The Proposed Natural Gas Power Plant In Emmons Country -- September 3, 2014

Emmons natural gas power plant proposal, $600 million for 675 MW.

That works out to $890,000 / MW.

These are the ballpark numbers I've used before (http://themilliondollarway.blogspot.com/2014/08/power-plant-costs-for-archives-august.html):

• Solar: $3 million / MW
• Wind: $2.5 million / MW
• Natural gas: $865,000 / MW

So, Emmons: $600 million for 675 MW

$600,000,000 / 675 MW = $888,888 / MW which seems to be in the ballpark.
