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.

Iberdrola Agrees to Takeover by Endesa
LCG, Oct. 18, 2000--Iberdola, Spain's second largest electric utility, and Endesa, its first, announced yesterday that they had agreed to an $11.6 billion "friendly merger" that will create one of Europe's largest power companies.Because the new company, to be called Endesa Iberdola, would control about 80 percent of Spanish electric generation, significant divestitures will be made to satisfy regulators. The companies said that about 15,000 megawatts of generation will be sold off, along with distribution assets serving the equivalent of 4 million customers."These disposals will contribute to a wider opening of the Spanish generation market by introducing three new operators in the market who will develop an important presence in the supply of electricity," the companies said in a joint statement.The agreement scotches an unwelcome attempt by GasNatural, Spain's privatized natural gas monopoly, to take over Iberdola.Joint chairmen of the new company will be Endesa's Rodolfo Martin Villa and Iberdrola's Inigo de Oriol e Ybarra. The chief executive of the new company would be Endesa's Rafael Miranda Robredo. The board will have 30 members, 18 to be named by Endesa and 12 by Iberdola.The combination will also create the largest Latin American electric utility presence by a foreign firm, with approximately 12 percent of the market.
