LONGMONT, Colo. – Utilities and other large-scale energy providers with significant percentages of coal in their generation portfolios can profitably transition toward more flexible and less capital intensive efficiency and renewables technologies using a business approach outlined in a new economic study released today. http://www.natcapsolutions.org/CoalPlantsinTransition.pdf

The report, “Coal Plants in Transition: An Economic Case Study,” provides a “proof of concept” for utilities to consider as they evaluate investments in new generation capacity and upgrades to existing facilities. It was developed by Natural Capitalism Solutions, a Colorado nonprofit research firm specializing in sustainable business strategies.
