Generator Operations, Investment and Revenue
Analysis: Portfolio Impacts of Environmental
Controls, Technical Update 1012253, was
issued in March 2007.
From the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2010, about
160 GW of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) installations
and 25 GW of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) installations
will have been added. This report—based on a
series of simulations by LCG Consulting and written
by Jeremy Platt (jplatt@epri.com)—describes
market-based simulations of how a company’s
coal unit operations and revenues could be affected
by widespread installations of environmental controls.
Although reduced operating flexibility was assumed,
changes in dispatch were most impacted by changes
in emissions where, in some cases, the cleanest units
lost ground to newly scrubbed units.
