cost per gigawatt replacement nuclear
Existing types of fossil plants have a capital cost about $1-2 Billion/GW and new nuclear plants are estimated to cost about $2-5 Billion/GW, depending on the laws of the country in which the plant is built.his translates into an average of about $25,000 per Megawatt-hour and $25 Million per Gigawatt-hour. A storage plant that needs to store 26 Gigawatt-hours (just 1 day's power supply) would thus cost about 650 Million dollars to build (estimated range from $260 Million to $1.1 Billion dollars).
