identical in design but
operated by different utility companies in different locations may have different efficiencies.
Thus, the level of effectiveness of a given GHG control technology used to improve the
efficiency at one coal-fired EGU facility may not necessarily directly transfer to a coal-fired EGU
facility at a different location
EPA recognized in the study that a number of technologies to improve power plant efficiency are
available for application to existing coal-fired EGU projects which can incrementally improve
thermal overall efficiency, and expanded on the efficiency improvements reported by NETL in its
2008 report on efficiency improvement projects (shown in Table 1).
