The Best of Times for Power Industry Construction

SUGAR LAND--April 28, 2008--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Recently released reports about the capabilities of U.S. electrical utilities to invest in the modernization of transmission and distribution systems, as well as to add generation, bode well for the industry. Utility costumers will need more electricity, and even with strict efficiency standards, they will consume more power. A diverse fuel mix of newly constructed power plants will hold down costs to an expectable level as renewable power projects increase their percentage of total generation as mandated by federal and state lawmakers.
