<br/><br/> This study calculates marginal costs of electricity supply. Mixed integer  programming model has been used in the expansion planning analysis. Seasonal  marginal capacity and energy costs at generation and various voltage levels of  transmission and distribution have been calculated . For the calculation of the  marginal energy cost at generation level a linear programmine simulation model  has been used. Th e long-run mareinal capacity costs have been calculated as the  average incremental cost of the plant. These are the strict margi.nal costs of supply  without consumer related costs.  Th e marginal capac.lty costs for all voltage levels at peak periods are found  to be significantly higher than the capacity charges in the existine rates. But the  energy charge in the existing rate structure is higher t h an the average marginal  energy costs.
