TXU proposed building 9 GW of new generation capacity in Texas to meet growing demand. They reviewed various generation technologies including wind, gas, supercritical coal (SCPC), and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC). SCPC was identified as the optimal near-term solution due to its competitive cost and reliability advantages over other technologies. While wind and gas will also be part of the solution, significant cost reductions and technological breakthroughs are still needed for nuclear and IGCC to become competitive long-term options in the next 10-15 years. TXU aims to leverage its construction expertise and experience to build out its generation portfolio in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner.
