Report on model investment projects scalability assessment

This report assesses how far each of the eight SET_HEAT model investment projects can be scaled for replication. It answers a different question than the pre-feasibility studies, which ask whether a concept works in one place. Scalability asks at how many places it could work, how large it could become, and whether the commercial arrangement survives being repeated.
