A nuclear power plant is set up with a generating capacity of 10 MW, the capital cost being Rs. 80,000 per kW. It meets the following demands :
- Service sector: Total load 400 kW at 30% load factor
- Cottage industries: Total load 3.6 MW at 50% load factor
Household: Total load 6 MW at 20% load factor. The operative cost of the plant is Rs.30,00,000 per annum and annual rate of interest and depreciation is 10%. If as per promotion policy of government, a flat rate is to be charged from all categories of consumers, calculate the overall production cost. If the power is sold at the rate of production cost, estimate the loss/gain each sector consumer will get per kWh for power consumed.
