Newly-developed data envelopment analysis techniques permit simultaneous consideration of ‘good and bad’ outputs in evaluating efficiency. We use these techniques to determine joint ecological and technical efficiencies of the 437 largest fossil-fueled electricity-generating plants in the United States. Utilizing the EPA’s E-Grid and Clean Air Markets databases and drawing on ecological modernization theory we evaluate whether innovations in organizational practices and technological solutions help achieve joint technical and environmental performance efficiencies.
► Ecological modernization is investigated using data envelopment analysis.
► This study utilizes information from the largest fossil fuel electricity generators in the US.
► There is a positive correlation between ecological and technical efficiency of electricity generating plants.
