Court ruling: Offshore wind not an alternative for baseload generation
January 4, 2013
by U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, Chief Judge Lynch
This important ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) finding that offshore wind is not a reasonable alternative for baseload generation produced by nuclear power plants. The NRC further concluded that the intermittent nature of wind power means that it cannot be considered baseload without effective energy storage mechanisms, and that storage technology is “not sufficiently demonstrated at this time.”
