A new HV transmission line of length of 6 KM, maximum capacity of 350 MW and average burden of 95% is proposed for a power system. The proposed line will affect a forest impact area of 5 hectares whose environmental value is R 20000/annum/hectare and the density of the forest impact area is 0.85. The proposed line will also affect 300 locals who each have to be compensated with R 10 000. If power is priced at R50/MWh, Determine the cost benefit ratio.
