WhatsApp: +86 18221755073Nuclear power plants are relatively cheap to run, but they are expensive to build. Delays in project delivery may double the costs in less than five years. The table below shows a breakdown of costs to build a nuclear power plant*: *Costs in the table are calculated based on power plant capital investment cost estimates publi…
WhatsApp: +86 18221755073The capital costs of a nuclear power plant are much higher than for energy sources such as coal and natural gas—and the annual cost of repaying the initial investment is substantially higher than the annual operating costs.
WhatsApp: +86 18221755073Among the three options shown, nuclear power is right in the middle, with total costs in 2012 of about $96 per megawatt hour (MWh), most of which involves capital construction costs. On the high end is solar power at $130 per MWh, and gas at the low end at $64 per MWh.
WhatsApp: +86 18221755073CSIRO recently published its GenCost report, which outlines the current and projected build and operational costs for a range of energy technologies. It reports that large-scale nuclear generated electricity would cost between A$155 and $252 per megawatt-hour, falling to between $136 and $226 per megawatt-hour by 2040.

WhatsApp: +86 18221755073Nuclear power plants can provide more environmentally friendly alternatives to electricity producers that use fossil fuel. The costs to build a nuclear power plant are estimated between $14 billion and $30 billion. These prices include direct and indirect costs, but exclude finance costs.
