reason for calculating the decommissioning cost
One way to estimate decommissioning costs is to assume that the future scrap value of the turbines will be 5-10% of the initial equipment cost, or to guess what the value of steel and copper and the other metals in the turbine would be in 20 years.ne way to estimate decommissioning costs is to assume that the future scrap value of the turbines will be 5-10% of the initial equipment cost, or to guess what the value of steel and copper and the other metals in the turbine would be in 20 years.
