Analysis of U.S. Coal Plant Retirements

In 2010, MJB&A completed a report for a major natural gas transmission company of coal-fired electricity generating units (EGUs) in several different geographic regions and their potential for retirement and/or to repower with natural gas. This analysis developed an indicative model of future coal-fired power plant repowerings and retirements based on a range of operational and market variables including plant operating characteristics and electricity market parameters. It also examines recent integrated resource plan (IRP) filings by major utilities in the region to identify projected impacts on supply-side resources and proposed solutions including new capacity builds to address them.
