False. This wasn't a single winner. Multiple power suppliers including coal had winning bids. But no single power source supplies enough base power to come close to meeting the needs. Multiple companies including multiple fuels sources won including coal, natural gas and nuclear.
The capacity offered in the 2018/2019 BRA resulted from both new generating resources and uprates to existing resources including gas, diesel, coal, wind, and nuclear resources. The largest growth remains in gas turbines and combined cycle plants.
Thanks once again. Your response helps one to understand why a producer would attempt to skew the actual cost and justify a requested price increase to the public utilities commission. Although, it isn’t cheap to build a new plant.
