Overview: This study presents an effort to apply one of the well-known elements of modern finance theory to the process of evaluating generating technologies and generating portfolios: Mean-Variance Portfolio Theory. The underlying motive for the study is a perception that there has been only limited understanding to date of how improved (that is, efficient or optimal) energy portfolios might be constructed by applying modern mean-variance portfolio theory. The result of the study is that a portfolio of energy technologies with differing financial characteristics could be less costly, over time, than a portfolio constructed exclusively from fuel-based systems.
