Decommissioning Cost Column
Column Type = Text

The Decommissioning Cost column represents the total cost in base year currency/MW to retire a unit, and is used in long-term studies as part of the retirement decision analysis.  It represents a disincentive to retire, and the higher the value the less likely a unit will be to retire.  The value can be fixed or change annually using a Time Series Annual reference.

 NOTE: If the FUEL reference is specified for this variable the value in the Fuel Table will be applied.
