Abstract

Should a lower discount rate be used for evaluating a tolling agreement than used for a renewable energy contract? The California Energy Commission seems to think so. An analysis suggests that a risk-adjusted discount rate is inappropriate. A correct approach should quantify the effect of risk on a contract's financial performance, thereby providing useful information for decision-making.
