Non-experts: typical heat rate values to keep in mind

Last week a friend asked me about typical heat rate values for combined cycle plants in Mexico... after quick reflection, I realized that despite my long time in the industry and focus on thermal performance, I had forgotten what typical heat rates look like for our most common plants...

Here's a refresher (table below).  Definitively keep in mind these are off-the-cuff.

These are not precise values at all, especially if you convert them from %Eff to Heat Rate units, you'd see they're not exact.  However, they are ballpark values easy to remember.   Next time someone asks me I might've forgotten these values but I'll share my microblog post with them.
