Sentences with phrase «electric capacity added»

By putting a larger battery in a gas - electric hybrid to increase its storage of electricity and adding a plug - in capacity so the battery can be recharged from the power grid, drivers can do their commuting, grocery shopping, and other short - distance travel almost entirely with electricity, saving gasoline for the occasional long trip.

The reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide per new unit of non-hydro «renewable» capacity falls off rapidly as additional «renewable» capacity is added to an electric grid because additional fossil fuel sources must be kept in «spinning reserve» in case the wind dies or the sun goes under a cloud unless hydro is available.

The Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) has released its second annual report revealing which of the nation's utilities have added the most megawatts of solar capacity in the past year, and which utilities have the most cumulative megawatts of solar capacity.

For example, these organizations are not sufficiently candid about: * The high costs of wind energy; * The added costs of wind energy due to its need for backup generating capacity from traditional energy sources because of the intermittence, variability and unpredictability of wind energy; * The absence of transmission capacity in remote areas where windmills might otherwise be acceptable; * The extent to which wind developers» costs are being shifted to taxpayers and electric customers and hidden in their tax and electric bills; * Scenic impairment and other adverse environmental, health and safety impacts.

The added costs imposed by intermittent energy sources like wind energy include the displacement of lower cost generation (e.g., natural gas), requirement of dispatchable backup generation, reduced capacity factors for conventional generation, increased electric price volatility, and decreased system efficiency.
