Evolving environmental policies will have big impact on power generation industry

摘要

Within the power generation industry, policies are rapidly changing to require a higher percentage of clean energy plants - such as wind, solar and more recently battery storage - to replace various combustion technologies like boilers, once-through cooling plants, and simple-cycle and combined-cycle turbines. Furthermore, in many states, especially in California, additional policies are being proposed to move up the effective year the percentage of clean energy plants must be implemented.
