The phrase "additional generating capacity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the increase or enhancement of power generation capabilities, often in the context of energy production or infrastructure development.
Example: "The new power plant will provide additional generating capacity to meet the growing energy demands of the region."
Alternatives: "extra power generation" or "supplementary energy capacity".
Government should also have a coherent energy policy and if they require additional generating capacity should help to pay for any additions.
The plant, originally built to burn naphtha as fuel, was in the middle of an upgrade to burn natural gas and to add additional generating capacity when it was shut down.
California, for its part, is negotiating with generating companies to sign multi-year contracts that would stabilize prices, an approach that seems absolutely necessary but holds the danger of locking the state into prices that could look way too high when additional generating capacity comes online in future years.
He noted that in a recent study the regional electric power distribution agency, ISO New England, concluded there will be a need for between 10,000 and 11,000 megawatts of additional generating capacity by 2005, and it called for improving the gas distribution pipeline to do it.
The Industrial Communities Alliance (ICA), an all-party association of councils from across Britain, said National Grid needed to act immediately to fill the supply gap by sending out new contracts for at least 2,500 megawatts (MW) of additional generating capacity – enough to power 2.5m homes.
It depends on the available energy at the proposed site and the economics of installing the additional generating capacity.
He noted that in a recent study, the regional electric power distribution agency, ISO New England, concluded by 2005, 10,000 to 11,000 megawatts of additional electricity generating capacity will be needed, and it called for improving the gas distribution pipeline to do it.
It will provide additional peak generating capacity to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market, which serves 23 million Texas customers.
Evidence of this can be seen in Finland, where the present rapid progress towards the development of a deep repository for spent fuel disposal has facilitated the decision in May 2002 to construct additional nuclear generating capacity.
Or you can charge your home battery pack off peak, then sell your stored power (which would otherwise have been wasted by the utility) back out to the grid during peak hours, doubling your money and smoothing the grid's demand curve, reducing the need for additional future generating capacity.
In Venezuela, less than a quarter of the $643 million budgeted for electricity infrastructure projects between 2001 and 2005 was actually spent, and less than 10percentt of the additional electricity generating capacity deemed necessary for the country's growing population 10 years ago has been realized.
