Sentences with phrase «overall electricity costs»

This means that in some months your overall electricity costs may be more than they would have been without solar, while in others they will be lower.

The mass conversion of the U.S. to solar power might involve an incremental cost of roughly four cents per kilowatt - hour, with overall electricity costs on the order of eight to nine cents per kilowatt - hour.

Not exact matches

Changing how the rate is calculated to reflect the cost of electricity at the time of consumption results in an overall lower price and significant savings for Albertans.

But this transition should not be burdensome; by establishing production metrics for monitoring waste, as well as electricity consumption, gas consumption, waste water intensity and overall carbon emissions, your sites can identify ongoing efficiencies and potential cost savings for your company to support your bottom line.

Once the pipeline is complete, the Valley Energy Center will begin to reduce the region's overall emissions, protect and enhance the reliability of the region's electric grid, and start saving New York's energy consumers more than an estimated $ 600 million in electricity costs annually.»

Higher efficiency means more electricity produced for a given size of solar cell, which increases power output and lowers overall system costs.

«This should reduce overall costs for the energy industry because, rather than creating large, expensive solar cells, you can use much smaller cells that produce just as much electricity by absorbing intensified solar energy from concentrating lenses.

They enable major power generators to profitably generate electricity in a manner that reduces the overall cost of compliance with mandatory greenhouse gas («GHG») emissions limits and renewable energy targets while also allowing countries to diversify their sources of electricity supply.

So, while I'm skeptical about the strict definition of Jevons and electric cars — namely efficiency — I do think there's something there in the idea that costs get masked within overall electricity consumption.

An overall decrease in electricity costs and ultimately electricity is cheap enough that it partly displaces gas for heating (both industrial and residential) and partly displaces oil for transport (e.g. electric vehicles and energy carriers produced using low cost electricity and or high temperature reactors).

Overall Costs: High electricity rates mean a better return on increasing levels of self - consumption.

Overall the California Energy Commission found that the requirement would be cost - effective in every climate zone, by eliminating the need for 323 gigawatt - hours of electricity, and thus eliminating 114,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions — in the first year alone.

A residential SunPower system can help customers save on annual household electricity costs as well as power their electric vehicle, reducing overall cost of ownership.

While the overall CPI increase is relatively low because electricity is only a portion of operating cost for businesses; the majority of this «passing on the cost» price rise is in the electricity industry.

The higher operating temperature leads to higher overall conversion efficiencies, thus reducing the cost of electricity.

The idea is that situating two or more of them together not only increases the electricity output from each hectare of land while sharing one grid connection, but also reduces overall intermittency and operating costs.

How much more obvious can it be that whatever renewables are doing in Germany, it is not pushing the overall cost of electricity down — it is pushing it up.

Perhaps even more significantly, while you'll find less waste overall of electricity in Hawaii, lots of electricity there is still wasted pointlessly in all the same ways we find where electricity costs less.

- A renewable energy - based electricity system costs about the same overall as at present if efficiency improvements are made along with the transition to renewable electricity generation.

-LSB-... published costs of nuclear - generated electricity never take into account the total lifetime cost of nuclear plants, including decommissioning, maintenance and waste disposal, so one is never able to compare like with like (it's the only form of electricity in which overall costs are ignored)-RSB-

Or to point out that the published costs of nuclear - generated electricity never take into account the total lifetime cost of nuclear plants, including decommissioning, maintenance and waste disposal, so one is never able to compare like with like (it's the only form of electricity in which overall costs are ignored).

I am aware of people making the argument that the big push by the nuclear industry for enormous government subsidies to find a massive expansion of nuclear power on the basis that nuclear power is «THE ANSWER» to global warming is a fraud that dishonestly and cynically takes advantage of growing concern about the very real problem of global warming, and I make that argument myself (because even a quite large expansion of nuclear electricity generation would have little effect on overall GHG emissions, at great cost, taking too long to achieve even that little effect, while misdirecting resources that could more effectively be applied elsewhere).

However, because the heater requires electricity to generate and emit heat, the units can increase the overall costs of your household energy or electricity bills each month.
