  4. Uranium • Price in 2022: $1.2104 / MMBtu • Applies to the whole eastern interconnect • Held constant throughout the year • Reasons behind this value: • Nuclear units will provide power despite slight changes in the fuel cost • Experience in economic studies that any transmission development will not change the output of the nuclear plants

  5. Fuel Oil • Price in 2022: • Held constant throughout the year • Reasons behind these values: • Fracking for gas & liquids has increased domestic oil production and the price of mid-continent oil prices • Baseline of Kansas City Rack Rate for crude in 2022 • Transportation cost is included
