- 13. Benefits
- 15. Demand Response and Variable Pricing
- 17. Emissions per Power Plant
- 18. Which Means the Savings are: • SO2 • 3.3 million tons/ yr./ plant x $344 per ton = ~$1 Billion! • NOx • 1.7 million tons/ yr./ plant x $850 per ton = ~$1.5 Billion! • CO2 • 3.5 million tons/ yr/ plant x $16.27 per ton= ~$57 million
