<div>Yes, Kenji! That is the correct column.

</div>
<div>RESOLVE doesn’t include the lifetime and discount rate in an obvious place. We can sometimes find mention of them in a write up, but then they appear to change from time to time.</div>

</div>
<div>What lifetime and discount rate does Switch use? I think this is part of the comparison… </div>

<div>Thank you for the email. Which column represents the Capex?</div>

<div>If so, to compare it with overnight cost data in SWITCH, what are discount rate and lifetime of each technology?</div>

<div>This meeting also fell off my calendar and I have a scheduling conflict now and can't make it. </div>
<div>I can provide an email update: </div>
<div>I'm close to finishing the scraping and data cleaning of the existing WECC generation projects and retirements to add for the baseline scenario in the database. This will update the composition of the existing fleet of generation projects to 2018
from the previous 2015 vintage, and reflects an increase of solar and battery capacity, and retirements of coal and other generation. I am completing some final checks and code improvements on some backup database tables before pushing the data to the original
database tables.</div>
