1.2 Benefits
Associated Benefits
(Associated Benefits are difficult to quantify in monetary terms and are not considered in
Financial Analysis)
Setting Tariff
Example
19 Capacity based
Annual Revenue from HH = n x W/HH x Tariff/Watt x 12
20 Metered, Energy based
Annual Revenue from HH = n x avg kWh/HH x Tariff/kWh x 12
21 Mixed
Annual Revenue from Industries/Commercial Entities (ICE)
= n x avg kWh/ICE x Tariff/kWh x 12 + ∑ kW x Cap Charge
22 Grants
i. Central Government Subsidy
ii. Other Local Grants
iii. Supports from National/International Charity
23 Bank Loan
i. Collateral
ii. Interest Rate and Repayment Period
24 Equity Investment

Terminologies
33 Cash Flow: Cash receipts minus cash payment over a given period of time
34 Discount Rate: A multiplier to convert future cash flow into present value
reflecting time value of money. A concept similar but opposite to interest rate.
35 Inflation Rate: is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an
economy over a period of time.
36 Break-even Point: The minimum tariff level required at which annual revenues
from electricity sales exceed the cost of production.
37 Annuity: Amount paid or received annually. With the annuity method, all costs
and revenues (benefits) are expressed in equal annual amounts. This allows quick
calculation of unit production costs, pay-back period and break-even point.
38 Capital Outlay: Amount used during a particular period to acquire or improve
long-term assets such as property, plant, or equipment
39 Annual Depreciation: Term used to spread the cost of an asset over the span of
several years.
40 Amortization: Term used to spread pre-operating costs over the span of several
years.
41 Interest During Construction: May be amortized
Financial Indicators
42 Payback Period
Time in years from the beginning of the project until the time when the sum of the revenues from
electricity sales (and other income) equals the capital invested for the project.
43 Net Present Value (NPV):
Present value of net cash flow
44 Benefit-Cost (B-C) ratio:
The ratio of the present value of the project’s future cash flow divided by the initial capital outlay.
45 Internal Rate of Return (IRR):
The discount rate, which causes the net present value of an investment to become zero.
