One of the challenges in the phase-out of PCB equipment is the cost associated with the replacement of the existing PCB-contaminated electric transformers and switchgear. UNEP developed a Model (spreadsheet) to evaluate and quantify the economic benefits to the removal of PCBs and the upgrading of this infrastructure. The model calculates the cost-effectiveness payback period and estimates the necessary investment and the benefits. The Cost-effectiveness payback Model is an excel spreadsheet. The below image show results.
