Sommario/riassunto

This study analyses the factors that determine the cost of electricity from new power plants. It offers projections of the possible cost of power from new fossil, nuclear, and renewable plants built in 2015, illustrating how different assumptions, such as the availability of federal incentives, change the cost rankings of technologies.
