| Description: | Cost of building the Water storage |
Water Storage Build Cost is the 'overnight' cost of developing the Water Storage.
The Build Cost can be defined in combination with Economic Life and WACC so that LT Plan will compute an annuity. If Build Cost is defined without these parameters then the entire Build Cost will be incurred in the first year. The cost is also treated as a lump sum, if the Economic Life is entirely inside the planning horizon.
Build Cost is calculated as:
Build Cost = Units Built × Build Cost (input)
