Techno-Economic Design of a 100% Renewable House: A Case Study for St. John’s [Project A]
Nalcor energy, the developer of the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project, needs to raise 725.9 million CAD annually in order to stabilize the electricity price in Newfoundland at 13.5 cents/kWh, otherwise, the price is forecasted to increase to 22.9 cents/kWh as consequence of the hydroelectric facil...
