For example, if an interconnect has 100 MWh of renewables added to it, and the interconnect is made up of 75 percent coal generation and 25 percent NGCC generation, then 75
MWh of coal generation will be displaced along with 25 MWh of NGCC generation.

Assuming average CO2 emissions intensity
of 0.8 t /
MWh, electricity
generation with
coal would contribute about 15 Gt CO2 in 2055.
IEEFA finds India's wind and solar energy costs have fallen 50 % to as low as $ 38 per megawatt hour (
MWh) over the past two years, with renewable energy bids in new auctions costing 20 % less than the cost
of wholesale electricity from existing Indian
coal generation, and 30 - 50 % less than the required cost to justify new imported
coal or liquefied natural gas capacity.
The problem with increasing funding for the deployment
of renewable
generation is that its low load factor means that per dollar
of investment, it substitutes for much fewer
MWh of subcritical
generation than is the case with HELE
coal - fired
generation.
[9] The merger would mean «increased emissions from
coal - fired
generation» with an increase
of 9.5 million
MWH of coal - fired
generation over the first five years after the merger... and would also result in the creation
of a dominant procurer
of renewable energy that would limit the pool
of renewable energy developers.
