Dear Saeed Aziz,

The LCOE is a "levelized" cost, which means it represents the cost over the entire project life, similar to the net present value. For the PPA financial models, the "PPA price" reported in the metrics table is a Year 1 value.

By default, all currency values in SAM are in dollars.

Best regards,
Paul.
