The US Electric utility industry is undergoing tremendous changes for meeting the challenge of deregulation and customer demands for a free competitive market. Two major forces are driving this market: the deregulation of the industry and customer demands for achieving the lowest cost for electricity, forcing utility companies to position themselves as the low-cost producers. This paper will briefly discuss the status of various advanced generation technologies with respect to their costs, applicability and limitations, where these technologies are expected to be cost-effective and how they compare with the combined cycle plants. Advanced generation technologies may benefit as the environment regulations are tightened. This paper will examine how, when and where the advanced generation technologies would play a role in penetrating the market on their own merits.
