Turn of geothermal/hydro cost curves #229

Open Femkemilene opened 1 month ago

Femkemilene commented 1 month ago

For both technologies, the LCOE is now much more realistic. Geothermal LCOE is still quite high; hydropower LCOE is at times lower, and hydropower does grow currently in the US. The new IRENA data show a higher CAPEX in that region compared to what we have, so I think this will be resolved on its own.

I think this should make the model's electricity price estimations in E3ME-FTT much more stable.

This closes #220
