| SUMMARY: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Under the Balanced Plan we will see an Increase in jobs to construct
$191 million more in infrastructure than under the BAU plan. |
We project 1.5 times more jobs in the maintenance phase for equivalent
megawatts under the Balanced Plan than under the BAU plan. (Plus we will
gain additional jobs associated with
the 98 more megawatts of capacity from wind & other renewables under the
Balanced Plan.) |
| The WWA projects zero coal plant job loss under either plan. However,
some retraining will be necessary for workers in 5 coal plants retrofitted
to burn up to 12% of the fuel from biomass under the Balanced Plan.
|
| Small (yet to be defined) loss in coal supply jobs under the Balanced
Plan will be replaced by jobs in supply of biomass (animal waste, crop
residue and forest thinning) and in the large increase in jobs for other
renewables. |
| We will have 98 more megawatts of installed power capacity under the
Balanced Plan than under the BAU plan |
| 785 megawatts more capacity without fuel or pollution control costs will
be added under the Balanced Energy Plan than under the BAU plan. |
| Eliminating fuel and pollution control cost will create more disposable
income for workers, businesses, retirees, and government. |
| * The WAA study determined that Colstrip 1-4 & the Corette Plant in Billings
could convert to 12 % of their fuel coming from biomass |
| ** Since the natural gas reductions are the same in both plans, they
are not figured into the totals for either newly constructed Megawatt or
Investment Additions |
| *** Net natural gas additions subtracted off the reductions in the BAU
scenerio equals the net 155 increase in capacity shown on the WAA summary
charts for Montana |
| The gross new construction figures are used here rather than net capacity
additions because new construction is being analyzed. |
