Stupid question, but how do you make a list on this form?
I'm only used to making list which is itemized, enumerated and so on.

\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}[leftmargin=!,labelwidth=3em]
\item[$C^{gen}_{gis}$] Investment cost for generation etc.
\item[$C^{tran}_{lis}$] Investment cost for transmission etc.
\end{description}
\end{document}
will generate:
You can play around with the labelwidth to get the desired whitespace.
