A utility avoids 100 MW of peaking capacity costing 40 million per MW. The capital deferred is

  • A.40 000 million
  • B.4000 million
  • C.400 million
  • D.40 million

Answer: B

Correct answer: 4000 million

\[ 100 \times 40 = 4{,}000\ \mathrm{million}. \] The figure is a deferral rather than a saving outright, since the plant may still be needed later, but deferring capital for several years is worth a substantial fraction of its cost - and it is the avoided capacity, not the avoided energy, that usually justifies a demand side programme.
