Question: You develop an interest in the LCOE relation and the publicized cost of electricity 1 0 . 2 7 c / k Wh for this

You develop an interest in the LCOE relation and the publicized cost of electricity 10.27c/k Wh for this year. You wonder if the addition of 60MW of wind sourced electricity will make any difference in the LCOE value for this next year. You did learn the following
This is year T=11 for LCOE computation purposes
n=25years
i=5% per year
E11=5.052 billion kWh
LCOE last year was 10.22c/kWh(last years break-even cost to costumers)
From these sketchy data,can you determine the value of unknowns in the LCOE relations for this year. Is it possible to determine if the wind farm addition of 60MW makes any difference in the electricity rate charged to customers? If not , what additional information is necessary to determine the LCOE with the wind source included.
