The US Electrical Power Industry-A 2007 Perspective

  • Conference paper
Challenges of Power Engineering and Environment

Abstract

A perspective on the current overall United States (US) Electrical Power Industry situation is provided; including:

  • US generation capacity over the past 40 years was mainly accomplished in several major surges.

  • Certain regions of the US will require new generation capacity soon.

  • Large coal unit, natural gas and wind generating capacity are being added. Nuclear units are in the planning phases.

  • US Environmental Agency mandated emissions reductions have substantially reduced the environmental impact of new and existing fossil units.

  • •New transmission line installation is planned that will improve the current restrictive situation.
