IHS CERA Capital Costs Analysis Forum – European Power
At the core of the IHS CERA Capital Costs Analysis Forum—European Power is the Power Capital Costs Index (PCCI), a tool used for monitoring the current state of the European construction cost environment. Similar to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the PCCI consistently measures a fixed basket of inputs—in the PCCI's case those associated with the construction of a portfolio of power generation facilities. The European portfolio is a balanced representation of all the major regions as well as fuels and technologies. The Forum also tracks and reports data on individual markets that drive construction costs. For more details, please contact Sam Shoro  at +44 (0) 203 159 3409

IHS CERA Capital Costs Analysis Forum – Downstream
The Forum serves mainly to evaluate downstream project development costs through the application of a Downstream Capital Cost Index (DCCI), which is designed to capture the precipitating elements behind the modern cost environment. The DCCI tracks the "purchase price" for a representative set of project portfolios and calculates weighted values for various inputs that have recently caused downstream project costs to skyrocket.

IHS CERA Operating Costs Analysis Forum – Upstream
At the core of the IHS CERA Operating Costs Analysis Forum – Upstream is the Upstream Operating Cost Index (UOCI) for monitoring the current state of the global upstream cost environment. The UOCI defines and tracks a series of marketplaces that drive cost changes. IHS CERA experts apply their knowledge to contextualize any changes in the index within larger, systemic shifts such as industry trends or geopolitical shocks.

IHS CERA Capital Costs Analysis Forum – North American Power
The Forum's main purpose is to determine North American construction costs for power project portfolios through the application of a Power Capital Cost Index (PCCI). The Forum uses the PCCI to track the "purchase price" for a representative portfolio of 30 power projects. The PCCI calculates a weighted value for various inputs that had caused power plant project costs to skyrocket and then fall in recent years.
