There are fixed costs and proportional costs. Property taxes aren’t put on hold just because you aren’t running. A certain amount of maintenance will be needed whether or not you produce a watt of power. Some maintenance costs will increase the more power you produce, including fuel costs. All of these factors need to be taken into cosideration when determining how much any given watt costs to produce.
