Abstract
Conditions within the power industry have changed significantly in recent
years. The rising cost of natural gas has made this an expensive source of
power, while concern about global warming and the introduction of limits on
CO2 emissions will have a profound effect on the use of coal for power
generation, at least in the developed world. In consequence nuclear power has
its best chance of a revival for a generation and renewable energy is gaining
ground as technology is refined and experience grows. The Cost of Power
Generation is a new report published by Business Insights that assesses the
current and future case for investment in traditional versus renewable energy.
This report analyzes all available data to directly compare the investment
case and future prospects of different power generation technologies. It also
examines the results of our proprietary executive survey to provide a unique
benchmark of how decision makers within the energy industry forecast the
future of power generation and the issues influencing those changes. Identify
the most competitive forms of power generation using this report' s detailed
analysis of the true costs of power generation.
