You would need to consider the following key factors in your calculations:
- Project cost – The total cost of the project, including capital expenditures, operating expenses, and financing costs
- Revenue – The amount of money generated by the sale of electricity
- Operating expenses – The costs associated with running the plant on a day-to-day basis, including labour, maintenance, and materials
- Depreciation – The reduction in value of the assets over time due to wear and tear
- Taxation – The amount of tax owed on the profit generated by the project
To determine the profit and loss, you would subtract the project cost and operating expenses from the revenue. If the result is positive, the project is generating a profit. If the result is negative, the project is generating a loss.
