In January 2012, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory delivered to the Department of the Interior the first part of a study on Navajo Generating Station (Navajo GS) and the likely impacts of BART compliance options. That document establishes a comprehensive baseline for the analysis of clean energy alternatives, and their ability to achieve ben...

Pursuant to the Clean Air Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced in 2009 its intent to issue rules for controlling emissions from Navajo Generating Station that could affect visibility at the Grand Canyon and at several other national parks and wilderness areas. The final rule will conform to what EPA determines is the best a...

... On [5]. In the absence of federal policy, state-level renewable portfolio standards such as California's will remain the primary driver of new renewable energy deployment in the western U.S [6]. ...
... It was assumed that (i) coal power plants will retire faster than in the BAU scenario (see Table 2), (ii) RPS will rise to 50% by 2030 with the same sources used in BAU, and (iii) natural gas power plants will retire in 2060 achieving carbon-free energy generation. Finally, the "Solar" scenario takes advantage of Arizona's highly productive solar potential [56], and differs from the Renewable scenario by assuming that solar PV is the only added renewable technology. For all scenarios, in each year we (i) used the same nuclear generation capacity, and (ii) increased (decreased) the percentage of renewable sources (coal and natural gas) according to the distinct scenario goals for each year. ...
