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.

Mitsubishi Expands Production for Solar PV Market
LCG, March 3, 2010--Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced Monday that it has completed construction of a photovoltaic (PV) cell production facility. Mitsubishi Electric expects to increase its annual PV cell/module production capacity by 50 MW to 270 MW by March 2011, and it plans to reach an annual capacity of 600 MW.
Mitsubishi Electric will add the production of highly efficient monocrystalline silicon PV cells to its current production of polycrystalline silicon PV modules. The new manufacturing facility is located at its Nakatsugawa Works Iida Factory in Nagano Prefecture.
Mitsubishi Electric expects the global PV market to grow from 5,550 MW in fiscal 2009 (April 2008 - March 2009) to approximately 8,000 MW in fiscal 2012, with the growth driven by the introduction of new PV-related stimulus programs in Japan, feed-in-tariff systems spreading in Europe, plus growth in the North American market. Mitsubishi Electric's expansion of production capacity is in response to the continued increase in the global demand for PV systems.
With its outlook for significant growth in global demand, Mitsubishi Electric also plans to construct new production lines to manufacture monocrystalline silicon PV modules at its Nakatsugawa Works Kyoto Factory in Kyoto Prefecture by March 2011. Furthermore, Mitsubishi Electric will increase its monthly PV inverter production capacity at its Nakatsugawa Works from 4,000 units to 6,000 units in May 2010.
