He said MGreen's plans were aligned with MGen's growth aspirations, which-aside from the new focus on renewables-continued to push for the use of high-efficiency, low-emission (HELE) technology for
baseload power plants or facilities that run round the clock.
There needs to be a
baseload supply for days when there is no wind.
"This coming winter, following the closure of a number of coal plants, we are 10% down on

"The problem with this is that there is now no incentive to build new

Using this approach, all plants with generation capacity factors less than 0.2 are considered non-baseload generation plants, and those with capacity factors greater than 0.8 are considered
baseload plants.
She referred to nuclear power which was the "only known 24/7
baseload power supply with zero emissions."

"I think it is unavoidable that the Japanese utilities will write off most of their nuclear 'assets' and move on," said Mycle Schneider, a Paris-based independent energy consultant.The plan defines nuclear as an "important
