Abstract
This paper investigates the use of a load-shifting strategy in combination with operating CO2 capture at different capture rates for one electricity company in NSW, Australia. Real electricity dispatch data is used to analyse the operating patterns of the individual power plants owned by the electricity company. The analysis shows that when CO2 is captured independently at each of the coal power plants without load-shifting, up to 11 Mt/yr of CO2 can be avoided. The company's overall long run marginal cost (LRMC) for this scenario is approximately 115 A$/MWh. When the load-shifting strategy is employed, up to 20 Mt/yr of CO2 can be avoided and the corresponding LRMC is approximately 110 A$/MWh.
