12 12 © 2006 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved. September 2006 Take-Aways for 2010-2015 Time Period Almost all new dispatchable base-load generation needed to meet U.S. demand growth prior to 2015 will utilize fossil-fueled technologies (NGCC, PC, and IGCC) without CO 2 capture and storage. Wide-scale commercial operation of new advanced light water reactor nuclear plants and new advanced coal plants with CO 2 capture and storage in the U.S. will probably not occur until after 2015.
