Quantify the scale and economics of moving to higher clean-power share

What is this tool for?

It estimates investment scale, annual fuel savings, payback period, and emission reduction from a clean-power transition plan.

Why is load factor needed?

Installed capacity does not run at full output all year. Load factor converts MW into realistic annual MWh generation.

What does payback mean here?

Simple payback is capex divided by annual net savings; it excludes financing and degradation details.

Can I use this for utility scale only?

No. It works for campus, commercial, and municipal programs too, as long as assumptions are consistent.

Does it model storage?

Indirectly through capex and O&M assumptions. Dedicated storage dispatch is not modeled.

Is this policy advice?

No. Educational scenario calculator only.
