	Current State and Future Direction of Coal-fired Power in the Eastern Interconnection Final Study Report	2013	04/01/2014	3.11 MB
	Summary: This ICF study, “Assessment of Coal-fired Capacity in the Eastern Interconnection”, is intended to provide EISPC members with accurate, comprehensive, and timely information to assist in the formulation of resource policies, with a specific focus on coal generation. The study will examine various coal technologies in the context of demand for electricity, the diversity of resources, and environmental requirements, and is intended to be a foundational resource for future EISPC modeling efforts. The study focuses the U.S. portion of the following six North American Electric Reliability (NERC) regions in the Eastern Interconnection: Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC), Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO), Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC), ReliabilityFirst Corporation (RFC), Southeast Electric Reliability Council (SERC), and Southwest Power Pool (SPP).
