Plant closure: drivers of the decision to close

All sunk costs should be excluded from the decision to close a plant. Closure economics should be based on an evaluation of avoidable costs. This is often not straightforward. For example in the context of a UK capacity auction cycle, more costs are avoidable four years ahead of delivery (T-4) compared to one-year ahead (T-1).
