Well, I guess the plant will be closed for awhile then. LOL.

Combustion turbines consume negligible water. The $14 per million Btu natural gas fuel cost at a major fuel hub can be passed on to the consumer by government edict. At 50% efficiency (pretty high) wholesale fuel cost is five cents a kilowatt hour at the generator.

Figure on fuel only cost at the wall socket from natural gas combustion turbines at eight to ten cents per kilowatt hour. Total aggregate cost per kilowatt hour is unknowable in advance but one can say that electricity will cost five to ten cents per kilowatt hour more than last summer for combustion turbine generated electricity.

Mohave has been producing cheap electricity that will now have to be replaced with marginal electricity bid up in price by those who want it the most.
