ENERGY SCENARIO PLANNER
Put generating capacity
into perspective.
Explore illustrative annual electricity output and compare it with a constant demand assumption. All assumptions are yours to change.
ILLUSTRATIVE OUTPUT
2.365 TWh
annual electricity generation
Annual energy exceeds the demand assumption by 0.175 TWh.
Annual energy coverage does not measure continuous supply. Outages, reserve margins, grid constraints and hourly matching are excluded.
Every number has an explanation.
Installed MW = units × MW per unit.
Annual MWh = installed MW × 8,760 × capacity factor ÷ 100.
Annual demand MWh = constant demand MW × 8,760.
Coverage ratio = annual generation ÷ annual demand × 100.
A non-leap year is assumed. Inputs are generic and do not describe a specific reactor product. This tool does not model capital costs, electricity prices, licensing, construction dates, heat output or an engineering feasibility assessment.
