It's on the order of 1.5%/1,000KM, so something like 20%-25% loss. Edit: a Chinese project with a 1.5%/1,000KM loss http://en.people.cn/n3/2018/0622/c90000-947

- dakial1 5y agoSo the cost (price) of energy in the other end (china) should be 25%+ (plus the expected ROIC) to make this endeavor worthwhile
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoAlso the cost of the infrastructure financing and depreciation - which I would imagine would be significant. But maybe not? Does anyone know what something like this would cost? I'm imagining A LOT.
- mikeyouse 5y agoChile is among the best places in the world for solar power, projects are being completed with power guarantees at costs under $0.03/KWh -- a 25% increase or even 50% increase would be pretty cheap power, according to the EIA still at least 1/3 cheaper than electricity from an incremental advanced nuclear plant. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation.pdf https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation....
