Abstract |
The report first provides a general overview of EPA's national MARKAL database and energy systems model (EPANMD) and presents results for the business as usual (BAU) baseline scenario. Under baseline assumptions, total electricity use increases 1.3% annually from 13,378 PJ in 2000 to 19,622 PJ in 2030. Annual growth in electricity demand varies between 1.0% in the residential sector, to 2.1% in the commercial and 1.5% in the industrial sectors of the U.S. economy. A total of 293 GW of new electric generation capacity is added between 2000 and 2030 to meet this growth. More than 76% of the new capacity is natural gas technologies, with 61% being natural gas combined cycle and 15% being natural gas combustion turbines. New conventional coal-fired power plants are not added until 2020, though a small amount of integrated gasification combined cycle generation comes on-line in 2015. Renewables add 34 GW of capacity, with 61% coming from wind power generation, 15% from biomass combined cycle, and 14% from geothermal. |
