*3.3. Future LCOE and LCOW*

Figure 14 shows the projected LCOE and LCOW of one representative case for both islands from 2015 to 2050. Note that the LCOE and LCOW of a particular year does not account construction time. The results suggest that RO will provide the lowest water generation costs, followed by MED and MSF. MED, MSF, and RO have comparable electricity generation costs, which is also suggested by Figure 10. The systems in Camasusu and the MVC system in Lubang have a small price spike. This suggests a transition to RE-favored generation in the future.
