Assumed landlord DSU loss and recovery

$1.0m recovery; $2.4m net loss; $1.4m retainedderived

Value kindderived — Derived values are guide calculations; their result is only as fixed as the stated inputs, scope, and method.
ScopeRent = 10 MW × 1,000 kW/MW × $100/kW-month = $1.0m per 30-day month; gross profit after 20% saved expense = $0.80m/month. Total delay loss = 90/30 × $0.80m = $2.4m. Incremental damage delay 90 − 30 = 60 days; payable 60 − 15 = 45 days, inside the six-month maximum; 45/30 × $0.80m = $1.2m before the $1.0m limit. Retained $1.4m = $0.80m permit delay + $0.40m time excess + $0.20m above the limit. With no covered damage, recovery is zero and the landlord retains $2.4m; raising only the limit to $1.2m removes the $0.20m shortfall.
