CAPEX breakdown (summary)

Chart is illustrative; tables in the FSR prevail.

Three LCOE definitions

Incremental (self-use)
0.083
RMB/kWh
Industry undiscounted
0.163
RMB/kWh
IFC 8%
0.342
RMB/kWh

0.083 RMB/kWh is the self-use incremental LCOE (O&M+finance ÷ self-consumption); 0.163 is industry undiscounted; 0.342 is IFC-style 8% discounted. See §14.4.3.
