The costs of different forms of power generation have traditionally been calculated and compared on the basis that they consist of a capital charge, an operating cost and a fueld cost. There are however a range of additional costs that are not traditionally included in the comparison of different technologies. These are the costs of externalities-the impact on health, environment, amenity, land use and climate of the facilities, their supporting infrastructure and the various emissions and wastes they generate. This study will provide a better basis on which the community can assess the relative costs of different energy production technologies and assist in directing future energy policy. Where figures are difficult to quantify or under dispute (such as the cost that should be attributed to carbon dioxide emissions) the study will identify a range of feasible scenarious and comparisons between technologies made for each. The study would be undertaken in a way that was consistent with similar work overseas and so allow valid comparisons between Australian and international positions.

传统上，不同形式的发电成本是根据资本费用、运营成本和燃料成本来计算和比较的。然而，在对不同技术进行比较时，传统上不包括一系列额外费用。这些是外部性的成本-对设施的健康、环境、舒适性、土地使用和气候的影响，它们的支持性基础设施以及它们产生的各种排放和废物。这项研究将提供一个更好的基础，使社会能够评估不同能源生产技术的相对成本，并协助指导未来的能源政策。在数字难以量化或存在争议的情况下（例如应归因于二氧化碳排放的成本），研究将确定一系列可行的替代技术，并对每种技术进行比较。这项研究将以与海外类似工作相一致的方式进行，以便对澳大利亚和国际上的立场进行有效的比较。
