Feasibility Study of Economics and Performance of Solar Photovoltaics at the Kerr McGee Site in Columbus, Mississippi. A Study Prepared in Partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency for the RE-Powering America's Land Initiative: Siting Renewable Energy on Potentially Contaminated Land and Mine Sites

Abstract

(NREL) thanks the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its interest in securing NREL's technical expertise. In particular, NREL and the assessment team for this project are grateful to the Kerr McGee facility managers, engineers, and operators for their generous assistance and cooperation. Special thanks go to Charles King and Shea Jones from EPA and Christina Berry from the City of Columbus for hosting the site visit. The authors would also like to thank the Memphis Town Community Action Group and Reverend Jamison for their interest in the site, support, and information.

Broad-Spectrum Technical and Economic Assessment of a Solar PV Park: A Case Study in Portugal

“…For the fixed-tilt scenario, CAPEX values were obtained through multiplying installed capacity in kWp by the total unitary PV cost in EUR/kWp (see Table 1). For the other two scenarios, the reviewed literature data [14,15,28,[33][34][35] showed an average necessary additional initial investment of EUR 360.33/kWp associated with the deployment of single-axis tracking systems, and of EUR 1015.42/kWp for dual-axis tracking systems. For each system, the additional initial investment was multiplied by the total amount of installed capacity in kWp and the result was added to the original fixed-tilt CAPEX costs to ontain the new CAPEX value including single-axis and dual-axis installation premiums.…”
