Stage 4 of 7 — Model·Engineer phase — Configure the system, model the economics, stress the result.
Understand whether the project can be economically viable on today's assumptions.
Answer these to complete Level 40/2 answered
- Has a base-case LCOH been calculated?— Run the economics above
- Which cost basis prices the project?— Select a cost-basis region and re-run
- What offtake price are you assuming?— Enter an indicative offtake price (optional)
What this stage needs from you
- ·Cost-basis region — it prices the project and may differ from the site
- ·Capacity, offtake price and offtake status
- ·Anything marked as a benchmark that you can replace with real data

Screen a site first so the model has inputs to price.
Preliminary model result. Results are estimates derived from your inputs, stated assumptions and third-party data. Actual project economics may differ materially. This is project-economics analysis, not personalised investment advice or a lender term sheet. Full terms.
Start with a site, then let the engine price it
The engine needs a place before it can price power, water and permitting. Screening a site first means every number below is tied to a real location instead of a default.
1. Screen a site
Pick or add your own location in the Site Screener. It scores your site against the reference population and writes a project brief.

The brief autofills capacity, power source, offtake and region — you only override what you know better.
3. Stress-test
Run the four stress tests to see whether the project survives a bad power year, a lost offtaker, a capex overrun and a utilisation shortfall.

Power Configuration
Defaults for power cost and capacity factor come from the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub (United States) regional case. Edit them above with local figures once you have them.

Risks and gaps that remain
- ⚠Electricity price and CAPEX are benchmarks until a PPA and vendor quotations exist.
- ✕A single base case is not evidence of viability — stage 5 tests it.
