Based on a 17 MW centrifugal compression station equipped with variable speed motor, a 2000 usd per hp (including costs of civil works, foundations etc.) would not be unfamiliar to me.

As rotw says, $2K/HP is a commonly used factor for capital cost, but by "ongoing" do you really mean operating cost?

you must get smarter than the software you're using.

Thank You BigInch. No, I did not mean "ongoing" as O&M cost. But Ill be happy to know what $/Hp-Hr value you forecast for your greenfield highspeed compression.

Thank you.

That's easy if it's gas fueled compressors. It's your cost of fuel gas, probably taken directly from the pipeline. No point buying it elsewhere.

Electric power varies too much by region and even time of day to give a specific figure. $0.08 to $0.28/kWh, or more.

you must get smarter than the software you're using.
