taking in consideration any supportive measures for RES
technologies. The results showed the possible initial costs
for the proposed PV system and the cumulative cash flows
for the project.
It is important to stress out that the study case analyzed
in this paper is selected from the proposed target locations
in RISE Project. It is a remote location with no electricity
supply. As it is a sheep-breading facility, the electricity
supply would affect the quality of the cheese production
process which is a main source of income for the employees
of the company. The better product quality would make it
more competitive in the market and would have impact to
the local economy. Though these benefits were not taken in
consideration when these analyses were made, they should
be when deeper analyses for project evaluation are
performed. The socio-economic benefits of RES project
would have impact on overall evaluation of the project
feasibility.
