EIA Data Reveals California’s Real and Growing Duck Curve Midday solar surfeits, steep evening ramps, and the shifting of a state’s electricity demand-supply balance. We’ve covered the growth of the duck over the half-decade since the term was coined by California state grid operator CAISO, named after the shape of a grid with midday solar … Continue reading EIA Data Reveals California’s Real and Growing #Duck_Curve
Nuclear generation in April at lowest monthly level since April 2014, says EIA US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said that in March, and April, U.S. monthly electricity generation from utility-scale renewable sources exceeded nuclear generation for the first time since July 1984. What contributed to the rise? The report said it was “record generation from … Continue reading Nuclear generation in April at lowest monthly level since April 2014, says EIA
EIA Meeting to Examine Future of U.S. Nuclear Power The announcement by Exelon Corporation late last month that it will “prematurely retire” its Three Mile Island Generating Station two years from now, barring state legislative relief, is not the only worrisome sign on the horizon for the U.S. nuclear power industry. The U.S. Energy Information … Continue reading EIA Meeting to Examine Future of U.S. Nuclear Power
EIA: Natural gas, renewables squeeze nuclear capacity Nuclear energy is reliable and its generation produces no carbon emissions, but EIA says the long-term outlook for the industry is dim. The plants “make up a disproportionately large share of generation compared with their share of electricity generating capacity,” EIA said in a research note. As more … Continue reading EIA : Natural gas, renewables squeeze nuclear capacity
EIA Predicts Nuclear Share of U.S. Generation to Fall Nearly 10% by 2050 In 2016, nuclear power accounted for about 20% of U.S. power generation, but that share is expected to fall to just 11% in 2050, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA’s) 2017 Annual Energy Outlook (AEO2017). According to the EIA, 25% … Continue reading EIA Predicts Nuclear Share of U.S. Generation to Fall Nearly 10% by 2050
EIA: Power sector sees decline in carbon intensity Efficiency of the electric power industry continues to improve, and is now second only to the industrial in terms of a sharp decline in carbon intensity. According to federal data, of the five major energy-consuming sectors in the United States, the industrial sector produced the least CO2 … Continue reading EIA: Power sector sees decline in carbon intensity
EIA: Electricity generation will decline 1% this year before rebounding in 2018 While the long-term direction of the utility power mix is toward renewables and away from fossil fuels, recent energy market shakeups have numbers jumping around a bit. Gas traded at historically low prices last year, forcing some coal out of the market. But … Continue reading EIA: Electricity generation will decline 1% this year before rebounding in 2018
US EIA: Natural Gas CO2 Emissions are Exceeding Coal Emissions For the first time since 1972, energy-associated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal are dropping below natural gas CO2 emissions. The US Energy Information Agency’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook reports that energy-related CO2 emissions from natural gas are expected to be 10 percent higher than … Continue reading US EIA: Natural Gas CO2 Emissions are Exceeding Coal Emissions
EIA: Energy-related CO2 emissions from natural gas will surpass coal in 2016 Natural gas is less carbon-intensive than coal, but as environmental advocates have been pointing out for years, the fuel still has significant emissions related to its use. And now, for the first time in about 45 years, those emissions from gas are set … Continue reading EIA: Energy-related CO2 emissions from natural gas will surpass coal in 2016
Feds: More power will be generated from natural gas than coal in 2016 Natural gas will power a larger share of electricity generation than coal this year in the United States, the federal government predicted Tuesday, continuing what a regional grid operator calls an unprecedented shift in fuels. The latest short-term outlook from the Energy … Continue reading Feds: More power will be generated from natural gas than coal in 2016
