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.

India's Financial Credibility on the Ropes
LCG, June 4, 2001"There has been a lot of slippage" over the past year in India's efforts to build credibility with foreign investors, according to Moody's Investors Service which has pegged the country's credit at Ba2, two notches below investment grade since mid-1998, but Moody's has no plans to change its positive outlook for the time being."We do discuss whether the rating is appropriate given the risks we see and whether the positive outlook is still warranted," Kristin Lindow, Moody's lead India analyst, said Friday, "But as of this moment we have not decided to change that."Standard & Poor's said last week that it was concerned about the size of India's budget deficit and on Thursday a third credit rating agency, Fitch, lowered its rating outlook on India's sovereign debt from stable to negative, citing deterioration of the nation's foreign investment climate.India's financial credibility suffers from high combined deficits of the federal and state governments, amounting to about 10 percent of gross domestic product, insufficient budget cutting efforts and problems associated with Enron Corp.'s investment in a huge power project in Maharashtra state.Enron's Dabhol Power Co. is the single largest foreign investment in India and is in danger of collapse, due to failure of the Maharashtra State Electricity Board to honor contracts signed in the mid-1990s."The dispute indicates that India's government may not be willing to live up to its contractualobligations," Lindow said. "As a consequence, this would further deter foreign direct investment fromcoming into the country."
