SPECIAL REPORT RELEASE Updated Capital Cost Estimates for Electricity Generation Plants

SPECIAL REPORT RELEASE Updated Capital Cost Estimates for Electricity Generation Plants This paper provides information on the cost of building new electricity power plants.  These cost estimates are critical inputs in the development of energy projections and analyses.  They play an important role in determining the mix of capacity additions that will serve growing loads in the future and the response of electricity generators to the imposition of environmental controls on conventional pollutants or any limitations on greenhouse gas emissions.  See the full paper at: http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/beck_plantcosts/
