Actually, if you do a little research on this you will see that the world is moving away from mega-projects towards a more competitive distributed power environment. The advantages to distributed power include the ability to add incremental capacity at lower cost, improved quality of power not available over transmission lines, and the ability to locate the source of power in places too remote for transmission lines. The biggest headache for power utilities going forward is how to handle what are called "stranded assets" or those mega-projects that have become uneconomic due to competition from alternative energy suppliers who have stolen their customers away by offering distributed power.

There is a lot more to this issue than I can go into here but the fact is that most utilities are looking into fuel cells as well as gas turbines for distributed power generation.

If you don't believe me, go to epri.com and search for "fuel cell".

Or try epri.com
