About JEDI Coal Model

JEDI Coal allows the user to estimate economic development impacts from coal power generation projects. In addition to the standard JEDI inputs, specific JEDI Coal user inputs include:

  • Capacity Factor
  • Heat Rate
  • Fuel Costs
  • Coal Produced Locally (Percent)*

While reasonable "default" values are provided, individual projects may vary and project specific data should be used to obtain the best estimate of economic development impacts.

* This parameter is the percentage of coal used within the power plant that is procured from mines located in the region being analyzed (e.g., the same state).
