U.S. base overnight costs of power plants by technology 2017
Power plant construction base overnight costs in the U.S. in 2017, by major technology (in U.S. dollars per kilowatt)*
This statistic displays the base overnight costs of power plants in the United States as of 2017, broken down by various technologies. During this year, a biomass plant had base overnight costs of approximately 3,584 U.S. dollars per kilowatt. Overnight costs refer to the cost of constructing the power plant if no interest rates were incurred during the construction process.
