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, Austrian Chiefs To Meet About Temelin
LCG, Oct. 19, 2000--Prime Minister Milos Zeman of the Czech Republic and Austria's Chancellor Wolfgang Schssel plan to meet October 31 in Brno, southeast of Prague, to discuss the Czech nuclear power plant at Temelin.The Temelin plant, strongly opposed by Austria which is a national "nuclear free zone," began its start-up process last week when it "went critical" with its first nuclear chain reaction. It is expected to take several months to reach full capacity and begin commercial operation.Shortly after the meeting between Zeman and Schssel was announced, the Austrian parliament passed a resolution calling for Schssel to do what he can to prevent Temelin from being placed on-line. The Czechs, bedeviled for the past few weeks by Austrian protesters blockading border crossings, are unlikely to be deterred by Austrian resolutions.In fact, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kavan said Prague set as a precondition for the October 31 meeting the cessation of all disruptions along the Czech-Austria border.Kavan, speaking at a news conference following talks in Brussels with the European Union's "enlargement" commissioner Guenther Verheugen, said if there were any more blockades there would be no meeting.The Brussels meeting was called by Verheugen in part because interruption of traffic between member nations is banned by the EU, including traffic between members and applicant nations, and in part because Schssel has repeatedly threatened to block the Czech application for membership in the EU if Prague did not accede to Austrian demands that Temelin be abandoned.According to Radio Prague, Verheugen said that border blockades neither boosted dialogue nor benefited the free movement of goods.
