Fixed Shunt Capacitors $100/kVAr

Fixed Shunt Reactors $100/kVAr

Series Capacitors $15,000/kVAr

Regardless of Voltage

SVC $350/kVAr

StatCOM $450/kVAr

Generator technology changes per size, that is why it increases!

Generator 650 MW @ 0.9PF $900/kW
Generator 350 MW @ 0.9PF $700/kW
Generator 250 MW @ 0.9PF $600/kW
Generator 150 MW @ 0.9PF $500/kW
Generator 50 MW @ 0.9PF $400/kW

You are limited to replacing only, no upgrades (although this would be a great way to go)

All required or customary items are included in the costs: All Land, Transformers have LTCs regardless of
phase shifting, substations have control houses, batteries, protective relaying access, etc.

The official mile when not listed is the result of the impedance IN OHMS as shown in the load flow impedance
listing.
