Traditionally, diesel generation has not been viewed as a long-term baseload solution to avoid potential energy shortfalls. However, many power producers in the Pacific Northwest of the United States are resorting to dieselfired generation as low water conditions have reduced the generating capacity of the region’s hydropower systems. In the state of Washington, newly permitted diesel and natural gas engines will produce about 396 MW and 75 MW of electricity respectively for their owners this summer. Each diesel and natural gas generator has an average size of about 1.5 MW and 1.05 MW, respectively. The engines have been installed in 18 counties in Washington to satisfy the increased need for additional short-term generation.
