Utilities need to utilize their fleets more fully in the summer especially at peak time when the heat is on. Coal plants are not effective as peaker plants (too long to bring up to speed), so many NG plants that have been running as base plants will switch back to peaker, while coal gets turned back on for base generation. The fact that utilities are sitting on record stockpiles of coal will also factor into the utilities choices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664957094233317169.post-38183082604054244882012-06-08T19:58:45.135-04:002012-06-08T19:58:45.135-04:00Excellent write-up.
