In contrast to growing generation from renewables, the EIA forecasts that coal power generation will decline 18% from 665 billion kWh in 2023 to 548 billion kWh in 2025. It forecasts natural gas will continue to be the largest source of US electricity generation, with abo...
electricity generation by 2030. Abigail Ross Hopper, the group’s president and CEO, said the DOE study “makes it clear that we will not achieve the levels of decarbonization that we need without significant policy advances.’' The solar group sent a letter to Co...
Initially, wind grows more than any other type of renewable, making up over two‐thirds of the increases in electricity generation from 2021 through 2024. With the phaseout of the federal wind production tax credit, that changes. Solar generation ascends to make up almost three‐quarters of the...
Solar power is expected to be the leading source of growth for U.S. electricity generation in both 2024 and 2025, with 36 gigawatts and 43 GW of new solar capacity projected to come online in those years, respectively, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said this week. Electricity ...
