be generated for our stake in the initial investment of our joint venture in Central America. Due to the considerable cash level of $83.44 billion needed to start our firm, through congressional lobbying efforts, we hope to obtain $750 million in subsidies per year for 5 years from the U.S. government. We feel that in establishing our firm as a dominant energy provider in Central America would generate "first mover" advantages for our firm. Future U.S. investment in the long run is estimated to increase because of our long-term establishment as the most efficient, and largest provider for energy in Central America. We also look to achieve a $250 million/ year subsidy from the 7 Central American countries for our firm's costs for the first 5 years. It is in Central America's best interest to foster the growth of our corporation due to the considerable economic benefit our firm will provide to the region. Market share is the second main mission for our corporation in Central America. Over the first two years of inception in the Central American markets, we hope to achieve an 11% share on the energy market. In the five-year term, we will target a 28% market share in providing electricity to Central American residents. In a ten-year time span, we estimate that our firm can achieve a 45% market share in the Central American market for hydroelectricity. Residents in Central America on average consume 19.6 billion kWh (kilowatts/ hour). Using the average Com Ed cost of $.0877 per kWh, this is $1.72 billion in total energy revenue. If our firm achieves a 45% market share in that time interval, taking in account inflation, we could achieve $1.04 billion in annual revenues in the tenth year. The financial analysis discussed above is an estimate of a hypothetical joint venture that Commonwealth Edison would incur in Central America. Data was obtained from Com Ed's financial statements on the sec.gov database, wh...
