U.S. Coal-fired Generating Capacity Retirements in 2025 Are Less Than 20 Percent of Retirements in 2022

LCG, April 13, 2026--The EIA today released an "In-brief Analysis" of U.S. coal-fired generating capacity retirements in 2025. A highlight of the analysis is that, during 2025, the electric power sector retired 2.6 GW of coal-fired generating capacity at four power plants, which is (i) the least since 2010 and (ii) 5.9 GW less than the planned retirement of 8.5 GW at the beginning of 2025.

EPA Proposes Rule Changes to Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Requirements to Restore American Energy Dominance

LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

Williams Plans Northwest Gas Pipeline Expansion

LCG, June 19, 2001The Williams Cos. said yesterday it plans to increase capacity on its natural gas pipeline to Washington state by 276 million cubic feet per day in order to provide fuel for new power plants expected to be on line in 2003.

The $200 million Evergreen Expansion Project represents the company's third major pipeline project in Washington and consists mostly of installation of approximately 90,000 additional horsepower at eight compressor stations. Twenty-six miles of pipeline will be located within Northwest's existing rights of way in Skagit, King and Pierce counties.

"The advantage of this project is that Williams is able to get a large volume of natural gas to electric generation facilities, where it is critically needed, using existing Northwest Pipeline facilities and rights of way," said Kirk Morgan, business development director of Williams' Northwest Pipeline subsidiary. "Most of this $200 million (project) involves construction of compression facilities, with only 26 miles of new pipeline."

Pending receipt of approvals and negotiation of rights of way, construction on the new pipeline segments is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2002 and installation of the additional compression will occur in the fall and winter of 2002-2003.
