RMI is doing a live demo of their new Economic Dispatch Hub on March 1st.This dashboard displays monthly operational economics for every active US coal plant. It compares the cost for each power plant to generate electricity versus the market price of electricity to determine when a coal plant is (or isn’t) economic to run. #EnergyTransition #Coal #Economics #electricity #EnergyMastodon #EnergyTwitter #DataViz

The data illuminates massive opportunities for reduced reliance on coal and increased customer savings over time. A lot of the ongoing plant capital expenses and non-fuel O&M costs come from FERC Form 1 data liberated by #CatalystCoop #PUDL
