Translate an uprate delay into energy volumes
Suppose a 200 MW long-term contract draws 150 MW from existing assets and 50 MW from an uprate. If the uprated equipment starts operating 4,000 hours late, it could have supplied up to 200,000 MWh during that period. Actual deliveries and earnings depend on who must procure replacement power and what it costs.
Check for yourself
- When does delivery start for the existing output and the incremental output under the contract?
- If the uprate slips, who procures replacement power and bears the cost?
Limits of application
The example uses a simplified availability assumption and does not estimate any company’s actual contract terms or shortfall.
- What to look for
- See what improved earnings and how long-term customer purchase agreements support investments in nuclear uprates.
- Why it matters
- Separate contract signing, uprates and delivery to trace how a power purchase agreement can generate revenue and cash flow.
Timeline
5 segmentsAmazon’s 20-year, 690 MW power purchase agreement supports planned investment at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant. Google’s 20-year purchase agreement supports about 890 MW of uprates at existing nuclear plants. Track contracted purchases, incremental capacity and commercial operation dates separately.
