Capital Allocation Is Crucial Decision for Coal-Fired Facilities

摘要

Continued price volatility with natural gas prices has combined with the historic comparative price stability experienced by coal to make coal-fired generation economically attractive. Development activity for coal-fired generation has responded with new coal-fired facilities being constructed to satisfy a portion of the demand for additional generation capacity. The recognition of coal-fired facilities as a generation source is evidenced by the many announcements by companies to add electric generation capacity in the form of coal-fired facilities.
