Progress Ratios

Progress Ratio is the change in price with one doubling of cumulative installed capacity. A Progress Ratio above 1.0 (100%) means that a doubling of installed capacity increases the cost of the next installed capacity.

Ex. - A PR of 0.9 means that, after one doubling of installed capacity, the new price is 90% of the old price.

Development and Construction Time

Development includes preconstruction activities such as performing feasibility studies, securing financing, identifying and purchasing/leasing a site, obtaining a site permit, approving and issuing a construction permit, and dealing with appeals.

Sources include: Jacobson, M. Z. (2009), US Department of Energy (2008)

Construction time also includes post construction activities, such as connecting the energy source to the grid.
