Update to Renewable Energy Technology Guide available.
Report allows users to perform preliminary capital investment evaluations.

The 2009 update to the EPRI Renewable Energy Technology Guide was released in February. This document provides a basic reference to inform the technical and economic assessment of renewable energy generation technologies. Technology status, deployment, design, cost, and performance information contained in this report will enable EPRI members to perform preliminary capital investment evaluations in a consistent and informed manner. Renewable technologies covered include wind, biomass, solar photovoltaic, geothermal, solar thermal, ocean tidal, ocean wave, river in-stream energy, and grid integration technologies that are commercially available or on the threshold of commercialization. The report also addresses greenhouse gas emissions control using renewable generation technologies. For more information, contact Chuck McGowin (cmcgowin@epri.com, 650-855-2445).
