Project description

We are investigating how the valuation of nuclear power plants is affected by extended operating times. Relevant value drivers are regulatory requirements for dismantling and decommissioning, increased maintenance costs in old age and future developments in the price of electricity.

Methods

  • Financial Modelling
  • Regulatory economic concepts
