| Description: | Annual fixed operation and maintenance charge |
Facility FO&M Charge is the fixed operations and maintenance charge for each installed unit at the facility.
The charge is defined on a per-year basis, thus the total FO&M Cost for a unit in a year is defined as:
FO&M
Cost = Installed
Capacity x FO&M Charge
The tax rate is taken into account if Depreciation Method is set so that:
FO&M Charge (modeled) = FO&M Charge x (1 - Tax Rate).
This charge is combined with the Build Cost in the objective function of LT Plan. The cost is also relevant for retirement candidates (as an avoidable cost).
| Property | Value | Units |

| Units | 1 | - |
| Max Operating Level | 250 | - |
| F&OM Charge | 150,000 | $/year |
Fixed costs are only counted against a Facility's Installed
Capacity i.e. Facilities with zero Units
or zero Units Built do not
incur fixed costs. The total fixed operations and maintenance cost
incurred is reported in the FO&M
Cost property.
