Fuel Switching

The attached report contains an analysis of fuel switching capability. It
also details one of the current problems with EIA data. The EIA data
contains FERC form I data. Once generation is sold its fuel consumption is no
longer reported to the DOE. Hence an analysis of the DOE cost and quality of
generation fuels is incomplete becasue of the lack of NUG data. WEFA gets
around this by using 1998 FERC FORM I data. After 1998, there were
significant sales of generation due to the ongoing legislation and
deregulation at the state level.
