The second edition of UDI's directory of more than 1500 cogeneration, small power, and industrial power projects in the United States. The Directory covers refuse-to-energy plants, gas turbine and combined cycle facilities, geothermal units, coal- and wood-fired plants, wind and solar installations, and a variety of other types of projects throughout the United States. While the report focuses on plants designed and constructed to provide at least some electrical output for utility sales, there are many facilities listed that are not designed for electrical output, but rather represent self-generation, or the provision of steam for district heating, process work of other heating/cooling applications. This displacement of traditional load for electric and gas utilities is a potentially important feature of the burgeoning market for such facilities. The Directory provides a level of project detail sufficient to draw a variety of conclusions about this highly publicized emerging sector of the electric power industry. However, the UDI Directory is not designed to be a complete listing of all facilities that have filed for PURPA status. Features include capital cost data (available for several hundred projects); listings of the various organizations involved in the operation, use, funding, and design of these plants; information on the suppliers of the major equipment and services involved; and location by NERC region, state, county, and town (where available). The report should proved useful to any organization involved in the generation of electric power, process steam, and heat for industrial or consumer use---including electric utilities, independent power producers, vendors and suppliers, natural resource companies, financial houses, fuel suppliers, transportation firms, and others.
