Simple payback calculation:
Total Eligible Project Cost
Simple Payback Period (in years) = ------------------------------------------------------
Annual Income or Savings
Where:
Annual Income or Savings = Estimated Annual Energy Output x Local Cost of Electricity
Provide calculation here:
Annual Income or Savings = 9,636 kWh x 0.0723 $/kWh = $697
Simple Payback Period = $26,730 / $697 = 38 years
Section G: Equipment Procurement
Certify that “open and free” competition will be used in the procurement of components in a manner consistent
