Summary

Compares the electricity cost of a 100 MW floating solar chimney power plant, whose chimney is built from rubber, with a conventional concrete design and with existing fossil-fuel plants in Bangladesh. The floating variant produces much cheaper power than the concrete one, roughly matches heavy-fuel-oil plants (about 0.13 USD/kWh) and undercuts diesel-based generation.
