To lower the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for a project, you would want to focus on strategies that either decrease costs or increase production. Therefore, the correct responses are:

  • Decrease capital expenses
  • Increase total production

Keeping capital expenses less than total production is not a relevant factor for LCOE calculations, while decreasing total production or increasing capital expenses would typically raise the LCOE.
