Gordon T. Little Master’s Thesis Center for Global Affairs New York University Fall, 2011 Abstract: This report quantifies the potential market in Germany for General Electric’s (GE’s) FlexEfficiency 50 power plant, the first industrial-scale hybrid plant to integrate a combined-cycle gas turbine with concentrated-solar-power and wind turbines to efficiently produce electricity. There is a strong market for gas-wind hybrid technology in Germany due to the government’s ambition to retire all nuclear energy capacity by 2022; growing supplies of natural gas from Russia via the NordStream pipeline; and financial subsidies that will increase industrial wind turbine installation. The report includes estimations of how many GE plants would be suitable for Germany, the levelized cost of energy for these plants and amounts of electricity produced.
