LCG, February 20, 2026--The EIA today issued an "in-brief analysis" that estimates U.S. power plant developers and operators plan to complete a record installation of 86 GW of new, utility-scale electric generating capacity that is connected to the U.S. power grid in 2026. Last year, 53 GW of new capacity was added to the grid, which was the largest capacity installation in a single year since 2002. Thus the estimate of 86 GW of new capacity in 2026 is a whopping 33 GW greater than the year prior. It should be noted that over 20 GW of the 86 GW of new capacity this year is estimated to be completed in December.

Czech Prime Minister Rebuffs Austria on Temelin
LCG, Oct. 16, 2000Czech Prime Minister Milos Zeman on Saturday said his country would ignore Austrian protests over the start-up of the Temelin nuclear power plant located about 35 miles from the border with Austria."Generation of electricity in nuclear power plants "is firmly implanted in Europe," Zeman said.Austrian protesters, their ranks swelled by anti-nuke activists such as Greenpeace, have blockaded border crossing points for more than a week, but Zeman said simply "I don't believe the demonstrations will change anything.Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schssel has threatened the Czech Republic with reprisal by blocking its entry into the European Union, but those threats have been ignored in Prague and discounted elsewhere in Europe.Over the weekend, Austria said it would suspend electricity imports from the Czech Republic to show disapproval of the Temelin start-up, but that too had little effect. "It is not a good decision," Zeman said, "but even so it is not of major importance."Weary of protesters chanting that their Soviet-designed plant was unsafe, Temelin officials on Friday had printed and distributed about 5,000 German language leaflets pointing out that the plant had been brought up to Western standards. Westinghouse of the U.S. and others had been contracted with to provide a replacement reactor core, totally new control and safety systems, new electrical cabling and other improvements.One observer said the problem with Austria was Vienna fails to understand that it is no longer seat of an Austro-Hungarian Empire stretching from Poland to Greece and from the Swiss Alps to the Carpathians.
