Analysis of the electric-utility industry in the US: an assessment of the economic and rate impacts of building additional powerplants

Technical Report ·

OSTI ID:6069181

The purpose of this analysis is to examine the economic and financial implications of utilities seeking to defer or cancel new coal-fired or nuclear powerplants. This analysis is a companion product of other ICF analyses which examine the overall condition of the financial and economic situation of the electric utility industry in the US. As such, this analysis is limited in focus in that it examines the specific issue of the deferral or cancellation of new specific coal-fired and/or nuclear capacity, much of which is presently under construction. Related issues are addressed in the other analytic products and efforts presented in separate reports submitted by ICF and others to DOE.
