The model «incorporates the addition of previously committed gas ‐ fired generation in the region in 2018» and cites the «CPV Valley unit, at 650 MW; and a generic
combustion turbine unit at 90 MW».
That project would include the closure of DEP's existing 379 MW Asheville 1 and 2 coal units and construction of about 752 MW of natural gas - fired generation (two 280 MW combined cycle units proposed to commence operations in 2019 and an optional 192 MW
combustion turbine unit proposed to commence operations in 2023).

And if you didn't do that with the refrigerator you would have do that with the coal plant or
combustion turbine running up and down, and doing that makes that
unit run much more inefficiently.
The sophisticated power
unit engine features high - pressure common - rail fuel injection with piezoelectric injectors, a variable nozzle
turbine (VNT) turbocharger, a variable swirl system and an uprated engine management system for optimum
combustion efficiency.
The oil - fired (liquid - fired) generators are only used minimally today, due to a combination of high relative fuel prices, air pollution restrictions, and the low efficiencies of the older steam
turbines and newer internal
combustion units.
Note: «Other Fossil» includes oil and gas steam
units and
combustion turbines.
Baseload generators, like nuclear
units, typically have high capacity factors, while peaking generators like natural gas - fired
combustion turbines have low capacity factors.
