Clean Energy Replacements to Indian Point
Natural Resources Defense Council
Project completed February 2013.
Synapse prepared an analysis of the clean energy resource options available to replace the power from the Indian Point Energy Center. The report included an assessment of the need for new capacity to meet reliability requirements in the event that Indian Point's operating license is not extended. It also included an assessment of the energy efficiency, combined heat and power, distributed generation, and renewable resources that could be used to meet this need. Synapse also assisted the National Resources Defense Council in preparing comments to the New York Public Service Commission regarding the contingency plan for replacing the Indian Point nuclear plant.
