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.

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.

LADWP's Pine Tree Wind Project Advances
LCG, April 20, 2005--The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Board of Commissioners approved the final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) yesterday for a new wind farm located north of Mojave. The Pine Tree Wind Project, with an electric generating capacity of 120-MW, will be the largest wind farm owned by a municipality in the country.The wind farm will include 80, 1.5-MW turbines and will be located about 12 miles north of Mojave, California. Following approval of the construction contract by the Board and City Council, construction is expected to begin this summer. The project is expected to commence generating power in the first half of next year.The Pine Tree Wind Project is a key element in LADWP's efforts to expand its renewable energy supplies. Last year, at the direction of the mayor, the City Council and the Board of Water and Power Commissions, LADWP began developing a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to increase its share of power generation through renewable energy sources -- such as solar, wind, geothermal and biomass -- to 13% of its energy by 2010 and 20% by 2017. In fact, last August Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn directed LADWP to withdraw from the expansion of the coal-fired, Intermountain Power Plant in Utah and to instead focus its efforts on pursuing cleaner energy sources.
