Coal decree impact assessed

摘要

Six Spanish coal-fired power stations will be forced to shut when the Royal decree giving incentives to utilities to use domestic coal comes into effect, says a report by Swiss bank UBS released October 24.rnThe decree will lead to a reduction of between 30% and 35% in the use of combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants, as well as thermal plants using imported coal, which is cheaper and less polluting, says UBS.
