Since the publication of my original post on this topic I realized that there were two natural gas fired combined cycle electric generating units in development and not just the one I thought.

Uprate: An increase in available electric generating unit power capacity due to a system or equipment modification.

To calculate the capacity factor of a windmill or other electric generating unit, the actual output in kilowatt - hours (kWh) over, say, a year, is divided by the windmillís rated capacity times 8760 (hours per year).

Today (June 25th) is the deadline for submitting comments on the EPA's proposed Carbon Pollution Standard Rule, which will establish first - ever New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil - fuel electric generating units.

In April 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a new source performance standard (NSPS), limiting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from new fossil fuel — fired electric generating units (EGUs).

The EPA Clean Air Markets Division website provides gross load generation data from all electric generating units that participate in RGGI.

Moreover, the standard sets a precedent for promulgating NSPS for other GHG source categories, and for contriving new source categories (e.g. «electric generating units») to hammer natural gas.

Electric generating units that produce electricity intermittently, such as windmills, would not justify the cost of constructing new transmission lines.

Once again, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson touted the supposedly huge benefits of controlling emissions of mercury (Hg) and other air toxics from U.S. coal - and oil - fired power plants (or electric generating units, EGUs).

For example, could a permitting agency decide that an electric generating unit is not BACT - compliant unless the facility switches fuels from coal to natural gas, or from natural gas to a mixture of gas and wind?
