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.

Residential Rate Freeze for Illinois Could Be Extended
LCG, Apr. 12, 2002--A freeze on Illinois residential electric rates now scheduled to expire in 2004 could be extended to 2006, under an amendment to an energy bill now circulating in the Illinois House.Rep. Phil Novak (D-Bradley) proposed the amendment in order for utilities and consumers to create a business environment that is better able to offer consumer choice. So far, no new companies have registered to supply residents, although any that do will be able to supply residents next month.Novak said, "we're four years and four months into this new law, and not much of a market has developed in order to provide our residential customers some safety and security and protect them from any volatile price hikes." He said the freeze would allow lawmakers room to "remove impediments to a wholesale market."A ComEd spokesman, Jon Hatfield, said, "the issue for us is, will we be able to make the numbers work so we can manage that risk." ComEd and Illinois Power would assume all risk of rising wholesale prices if a rate freeze were to be extended under the amendment.
