This book presents a comparative economic analysis of power plants, focusing on the market value of generation assets and the value of the electricity market they supply. It examines both a traditional coal-fired power plant and an advanced nuclear configuration with a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, showing how different technologies, fuel prices, emissions charges, and investment conditions affect profitability and market value. A key feature of the book is its proprietary continuous-time methodology, used to calculate indicators such as NPV, IRR, and levelized cost of electricity over the full operating life of a plant. The book is supported by figures, tables, and scenario-based calculations, which help readers see how market conditions and policy decisions influence long-term investment outcomes. For readers, the main benefit is a clearer understanding of how power plants are valued in practice and why some technologies become more attractive than others under changing economic and regulatory conditions. The book is especially useful for academics, policymakers, investors, and energy-sector professionals who want an evidence-based view of electricity generation economics and the transition from coal-based to lower-carbon technologies.
