Power supply expansion and the nuclear option in Poland

“…a key determinant of capacity factor. Nonetheless, a more complete end use based load shape forecasting effort is urgently needed, given that the structure of demand is likely to change significantly (Meyers 1993 and1994). Table 2 shows the base price of fuels assumed for 1993, and the real rates of price escalation used for d l four scenarios.…”
