Cost and quality of fuels for electric utility plants: 1978. Energy data report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5684719
Annual information on the cost and quality of fossil fuels delivered to electric utilities generating plants in the US with a combined capacity of 25 MW or greater is reported. In this series of reports, beginning with the 1976 annual summary report, plant-by-plant data are grouped on a state and regional basis to enable comparison of prices of similar fuels delivered to other plants in the same state and region. In 1978, the production of electric energy rose 3.9%, reaching a record 2207 billion kWh. The biggest increase in electric generation occurred in hydroelectric units and the second largest increase came from nuclear plants. Total electric power generation and fossil fuel consumption by electric utilities for the period 1975-1978 are tabulated. Unit prices of fossil fuels increased an average of 8.8% in 1978. Utilities reported purchasing 476.2 million tons of coal, 606 million barrels of oil, and 3123.9 billion cubic feet of gas. Additional data are provided in appendices. (MCW)
