Abstract
This paper proposes a modeling approach to the aggregation of the various uncertainties and for estimating the economic risks to electric utility companies of investing in an individual geothermal project. The 'intent of this conceptual model is to provide a structure for systematically examining the major uncertainties developing and operating a geothermal plant and their potential effects on the busbar cost of electricity and i t s probabi 1i ty distribution.
