Increasing nuclear power plant efficiency from 1980 to today came from two areas: first,
improvements to how operators re-fuel reactors, and keep plants and their workers safe; second, increasing the
heat and electrical generation of plants through «up -
rates.»
The narrower rule would focus on obtaining efficiency
improvements through better
heat rates at coal plants — an «inside the fenceline» regulation, rather than a sweeping change to the national power mix.
Improvement to
heat rate would likely throw the facility into NSR immediately and the costs of that equipment can not be directly recovered in the bid price and those costs would overwhelm any value to RGGI compliance.
