U.S. power generation from renewables surpassed coal for the first time, says EIA

The shift continues to be driven by solar and wind capacity additions.

Coal and gas-fired power plants make up nearly all planned 2023 retirements

Owners and operators plan to retire 8.9 GW of coal-fired capacity, around 4.5% of the total capacity at the start of the year.

Solar and wind will trim fossil generation’s market share through ’24, EIA says

Declining construction costs and favorable tax credits are two factors that benefit renewable resources.

This nuclear plant had the highest summer capacity factor in 2021

According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 21 reactors achieved a capacity factor above 100% last year

Electricity generation from natural gas hit record high in July, EIA says

Electric power generated from U.S. natural-gas fired plants reached 6.37 million MWh on July 21, 2022, a record high according to the U.S. Energy Information.
