Abstract: The cost of coal-fired generating projects is one of the vital bases for investment decisions. Meanwhile, it is also a decisive reference for the management departments to evaluate the feasibility of project during the approval process. By taking advantage of the data from several 1 000-MW class coal-fired generating projects(some are still under construction while some are already put into operation) the index calculation and analytical induction are performed. The cost of several 1 000-MW class ultra-supercritical units in static investment period is studied with analogy. The impacts of construction properties, technical plans and site conditions on engineering cost are analyzed considering the variances of each single item cost.

Key words: 1 000-MW, engineering cost analysis, electricity price
