The research aims to identify the environmental costs of the economic unit in sample research, as well as classifying the environmental cost to prevention costs, appraisal cost, internal failure cost and external failure cost. moreover the research aims to measure and analyses the apparent and hidden environmental cost. related to the activities undertaken and clarifying the impact of these costs on the institute as a whole. The research problem a raised As a result of the high costs incurred by the economic unit in sample research, represented by the electric power plant in order to preserve the environment, it was found that the company suffers from a weakness in the measurement and analysis of environmental costs according to the classifications of its activities, which in turn is reflected in the costs incurred by the company, causing its increase as a result of lack of Classification it at the expense of its activities, in order to remove the environmental damage resulting from the practice of the activity of the unit, which negatively affects the quality of the environmental service of the company. The research was based on the hypothesis that Accurate and clear measurement and analysis of environmental costs will contribute to determining environmental costs based on the classification of their activities, and thus knowledge of the resulting environmental damage and the possibility of avoiding or limiting them, Where the research reached many conclusions, the most important of which is the station's failure to measure, analyze, and determine the environmental costs to prevent pollutants coming out of the electric power production process.
