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.

Governor Approves Sunflower's Proposed Coal-fired Plant in Kansas
LCG, May 20, 2009--The new Governor of Kansas, Mark Parkinson, approved on Monday an agreeement that includes a coal-fired, electric generating unit proposed by Sunflower Electric Power Corporation (Sunflower).
The approval permits the construction of a single, 895-MW unit at an existing power plant near Holcolm, Kansas. The approval follows a settlement negotiation that resulted in a single, 895-MW unit, rather than two, 700-MW units.
Governor Parkinson recently replaced Kathleen Sebelius, who became U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services. While governor, Ms. Sebelius denied an air quality permit for Sunflower's proposed coal-fired unit and vetoed three measures submitted by the Legislature to overturn the decision to reject the permit.
The Kansas Legislature adjourned the 2009 session last week with an energy plan that included Sunflower's 895-MW, coal-fired unit.
