Before everyone gets all worked up about this, the City brain trust should get in touch with some of the people folks that actually know energy, power plants, and so on.
In 2010, EIA, The U.S. Energy Information Administration commissioned an external consultant to develop up-to-date cost and performance estimates for utility-scale electric generating plants for AEO 2011. This information allowed EIA to compare the costs of different power plant technologies on a standardized basis and was a key input enhancement to the National Energy Model System (NEMS). For the AEO 2013 development, EIA commissioned the same consultant group to update the cost and performance estimates for each of the technologies evaluated in the original 2010 study. This paper summarizes the results of the findings and discusses how EIA uses the updated information to analyze the development of new capacity in the electric power sector.
