What is Availability factor?
'''Availability factor''' in a [[power plant]] is the amount of time that it is able to produce [[electricity]] over a certain period, divided by the amount of the time in the period. The availability factor depends on the type of power plant, the source of [[energy]] used and how the plant is operated. Newer types of power plants usually have higher availability factors than old power plants. [[Category:Electricity]] {{sci-stub}}
