here are simplified calculations presented in the BCA in order to make it easier to see the role of different estimates of the social cost of carbon, different ways of discounting, and how the choice to value associated pollutants might affect the net present value estimates. The job for your teams is to complete the yellow boxes in the spreadsheet that you can find in theBenefit-Cost Analysis Excel Spreadsheet for the Clean Power PlandownloaThat is, you need to:

  1. Calculate the benefits for each year of each scenario and discount them in columns H, I, and J.
  2. Sum up these benefits to calculate the present value for each scenario.
  3. Calculate the costs for each year of each scenario and discount them in columns L and M.
  4. In row 51, calculate the net present value for each scenario by subtracted the appropriate discounted costs from each of the discounted benefits.

    The power industry’s “compliance costs” are represented in this analysis as the change in electric power generation costs
    between the base case and illustrative CPP scenarios, including the cost of demand-side energy efficiency programs and
    measures and monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping (MR&R) costs.
