Investment Analysis Tool (CBA)

Context for Development

  • Quantification of benefits from smart grid use cases is more difficult than quantification of project costs. Identifying and assigning monetary value to all benefits realized is critical.
  • Several methodologies exist for economic evaluation of smart grid projects. However, these methodologies require customization and contextualization for use in India and developing countries.
  • Smart grid benefits flow to multiple stakeholders (utility, consumer, society, environment). Hence, decision-makers need to evaluate smart grid proposals through well-defined and consistent methodology.
  • The proposition is to have a one of a kind modular tool with simplified analysis and user friendly with review capabilities.
  • The online tool has been developed and is available for use by the Utilities.

Objective of CBA

  • Conduct holistic assessment of financial, environmental and social impact of the investments in utility modernization projects.
  • Strengthen project planning and evaluation - assess benefits under different use-cases and implementation scenarios.
