Considering average BPLR in WACC computation does not seem to conform Guidance and the note published by Meth Panel on WACC computation. DOE should check this and ensure appropriate lending rate is taken into account

The given WACC will result in a return of more than 24% on equity, which is very high. GERC has recommended only 14% return and this is higher than EB’s default return on equity

Other projects recently webhosted have taken much higher PLF than 16.14%. GERC has recommended 20% CUF and CERC has recommended 19%. The CUF is very low

GERC order provides only 0.5% for O&M cost and 0.35% for insurance – a total of 0.85%. The project has assumed O&M cost at 0.60%, administrative expenses at 0.75% and insurance at 0.35%  leading to a total of 1.65% which is twice the cost recommended by GERC. This is not correct. At this rate all projects will be additional

Why should this project require receivable financing? No capital is invested in generating energy unlike biomass or thermal power plants. Receivable do not merit consideration

Even though the project is not claiming accelerated depreciation, it is still entitled to 35% depreciation in the first year (additional depreciation is not accounted).
