Description:
This report was prepared as part of the Ohio River Basin Energy Study (ORBES), a multidisciplinary policy research program supported by the Environmental Protection Agency. It provides estimates of capital-output ratios and typical operating costs for the comparison of alternative energy development scenarios in the ORBES region, which consists of all of Kentucky, most of West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and substantial portions of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Three of the ORBES scenarios are considered: a base case; an expanded export case, with the added facilities fueled by nuclear energy; and a high growth coal forecast.
