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.

New England Ready for Summer, ISO Says
LCG, May 18, 2001The operator of New England's bulk power grid said yesterday that there should be a sufficient supply of electricity to meet the summer needs of the region, refuting in part a report released Tuesday by the North American Electric Reliability Council.ISO-New England said that NERC did not take into account firm agreements with Hydro-Quebec of Canada for at least 1,500 megawatts of power.In its Summer 2001 forecast released last month, the ISO said that despite projected record-setting demand the region should not face blackouts, but conceded that extremely hot days or an extended heat wave could require the implementation of conservation measures."ISO New England is forecasting an adequate supply of electricity for the New England region thissummer," Stephen G. Whitley, vice president for system operations, said. "New England does not face the supply problems that are at the root of the crisis in California. Because of the addition of several new power plants throughout the New England region over the past two years, the growth in supply is outpacing the growth in demand."With 1,000 megawatts of new electric generation added since June 2000, and another 1,600 megawatts expected to be on-line this summer, New England projects a reserve margin of almost 19%, which is higher than most other areas of the country, the ISO said.
