This book analyses the factors that determine the cost of
electricity from new power plants. These factors, including
construction costs, fuel expense, environmental regulations, and
financing costs can all be affected by government energy,
environmental, and economic policies. Government decisions to
influence or not influence these factors can largely determine the
kind of power plants that are built in the future. This book
provides projections of the possible cost of power from new fossil,
nuclear, and renewable plants built in 2015, illustrating how
different assumptions, such as the availability of federal
incentives, change the cost rankings of technologies. None of the
projections are intended to be a "most likely" case. Future
uncertainties preclude firm forecasts. The rankings of the
technologies by cost are therefore also an approximation and should
not be viewed as definitive estimates of the relative
cost-competitiveness of each option. The value of this book is not
as a source of point estimates of future power costs, but as a
source of insight into the factors that can determine future
outcomes, including factors that can be influenced by Congress.
