“For me, I pay bout 17.81 per kwhr
FF is by far the economical choice”
Lucky you, Here in the bay area it’s about 40c/kwh.
Exactly where is this cheap RE?
If the antinuke zealots get out of the way GE Hitachi have a NRC approved design that can be built in America for $2500 or less per kw in capx with uranium prices what they are today that will make it under 5 cents kWh for a 40 year reactor life cheaper still if extended to 60. At this power level to shift demand peaks and load follow prestressed concrete steam accumulators or pipe rack types or the Westinghouse concrete thermal storage from the above MIY report all would make it even cheaper to use nuke power as the primary source with solar and wind as the other sources no gas turbines needed.
Outskirts of DFW (Rowlett/Rockwall), we’re paying around $0.11/kWh if I remember correctly. Several cents per kWh increase if you choose the ‘green’ option that sources a higher solar percentage.
I have been locked in for two years at an all-in price of about 8 cents per kWh. Contract expires in June I think. East Texas.
