Repowering existing fossil power plants with new generating equipment and technology is emerging as the core of competitive strategies for transforming underperforming assets into some of the most efficient, low-cost capacity a utility may have. The substantial improvements in heat rate offered by repowering approaches translate into reductions of similar magnitude in pollutant emissions, even as net generating capacity is doubled or tripled at a fraction of the cost of a green-field plant. EPRI is providing member companies a competitive advantage in the emerging repowering market with analytical tools and technical and marketing data that can maximize the strategic business opportunities represented by repowering projects. 6 figs.
