["Instructions and Notes for Applicants:"]
["Although applicants are not required to use this Excel template, they are required to provide the information requested per the gray highlighted cells below."]
["• Applicants may provide additional cost information on any other configurations of turbine rating, hub height, etc should they choose, but are required to provide the requested information for the baseline so all applications are comparable to the same base case.\n• While some basic categories like towers and foundations are pre-loaded in the excel template, applicants are encouraged to add more detailed cost expenditures and savings by adding additional rows if needed. \n• All provided costs should be provided in constant year 2013 dollars.\n• As alluded to in the technical review criteria, applications will be evaluated on the fidelity and clarity of their cost estimates to assess knowledge of the proposed innovation's strengths and limitations. Provided explanations and demonstrating reasonable assumptions are as equally important as the provided costs themselves.\n• Foundation, turbine installation, and decommissioning costs were not broken out separately within the NREL LCOE report. The provided baseline costs for these categories are from additional internal NREL analysis in support of this FOA to allow a greater cost estimation granularity."]
