At geofluid production temperatures above about 160°C, the surface-plant-only LCOEs are about 40 $/MW e -h with LIKELY financing assumptions and about 60 $/MW e -h using LAZARD financing assumptions. These differences demonstrate the impact that financing assumptions can have on the levelized cost estimates. Further, these and similar results across different plant capacities (see Figure in the Appendix) also suggest that claims that the LCOE of an entire indirect geothermal facility can fall around or below these costs (~50 $/MW e -h or ~30 $/MW e -h for high capacity facilities) should be scrutinized because the surface plant alone may cost at least that amount.
