Energy · RATIOXA GLOSSARY
Levelized cost
Discounted lifecycle cost per discounted unit of energy produced or delivered.
Simple definition
Discounted lifecycle cost per discounted unit of energy produced or delivered.
Why it matters
This term changes how inputs, cash flows or results should be interpreted. RATIOXA keeps it explicit so two options are compared on the same basis.
Worked example
