Either or both reactors at the Indian Point Peak Load Capacity Energy Center could be replaced with these options.

Peak mined to be unlikely to make a significant contribution to demand for electricity is higher in the summer than in the the power needs of the New York Control Area in the time winter, and in summer, gas supplies are abundant. Therefore frame of this study.

Coal In the 1980s, there was a move to have a waste energy plants, therefore, are located in areas where property values facility located in each of the five counties of New York City are relatively low. Land values in the Lower Hudson Valley as a measure to assist the city in managing its wastes and to and New York City areas are among the highest in the nation.

If natural gas prices is less than 5 percent of the total peak load of the region and remain high, a coal plant upstate with a new transmission is declining as a percentage of such load (NYISO, 2005b)

As a result of the limited transfer New transmission capacity, if designed to adequately incapability into southeastern New York State, this subregion crease the transfer capabilities among the Total East, Central must place greater reliance on the generating plants located East, and UPNY-SENY Interfaces, may provide a partial within greater metropolitan New York City and Long Island.
