Although Nordic power system is largely based on clean power, it is still affected by the volatility of commodity prices, mainly driven by the continental gas-fired generation.

An adjoining conversion system will allow it to produce electricity on demand and in a flexible manner to compete with gas-fired power plants, but also to supply heat directly to nearby energy-intensive industries.

Interestingly, the EPA used the Local Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) to endorse the need for the gas-fired power plant to the public.

Kyari said on the directive of the president, a 32MW gas-fired power plant was designed and built in 16 months, which was unprecedented and had been successfully test-run and confirmed ready by the president.

Ministry spokesperson Beate Baron said recent studies showed Germany would be able to maintain its power supply with coal and gas-fired power plants and renewables such as wind and solar, while remaining a net exporter of electricity.

That reality hit home last year as unseasonably calm and dry weather left the group's renewable output lower than planned, meaning flexible gas-fired plants had to plug the energy shortfall."

The plan will establish rate-based limits on carbon dioxide emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants, based on the agency’s assessment of the “best system of emission reduction” under the Clean Air Act.

The second element is the use of this natural gas in gas-fired power plants equipped with “carbon capture, utilization and storage” technologies to produce “low-emissions” electricity.

This decrease reflects the improvement in efficiency of modern gas-fired power plants replacing older peat and oil-fired plants and the increased share of renewables, primarily, wind power along with increased interconnectivity.

This would certainly seem to be another policy, on top of the IRA's production tax credits, that benefits VST's Comanche Peak nuclear power plant in Texas, as well as VST's other coal and gas-fired plants in the state.
