SUGAR LAND--December 7, 2012--Written by Richard Finlayson, Senior International Editor for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--A report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) says that the widely differing costs of supplying electricity from different generating options must play a part in future energy decisions, and must be internalized for each low-carbon generation option. The way that variable renewable and so-called dispatchable energy technologies--specifically coal, gas and nuclear--interact in terms of their effects on electricity systems is the focus of the report, which is titled "Nuclear Energy and Renewable: System Effects in Low-carbon Electricity Systems."
