The overnight cost is frequently used when describing power plants. The unit of measure typically used when citing the overnight cost of a power plant is $/kW. For example, the overnight cost of a nuclear plant might be $5,000/kW, so a 1000 MW plant would have an overnight cost $5 billion. (Interest on the $5 billion spent during construction would be extra.)
