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.

FirstEnergy Seeks Progressively Higher Rates
LCG, Feb. 6, 2004--FirstEnergy has outlined a long-term rate structure proposal that raises the possibility of increases of as much 50 percent over three years.Uncertainty about the rates would come from FirstEnergy's request that it be able to defer some rate increases until further into the future. According to the plan, charges that serve to "improve reliability of service" would be justified. A "Rate Stabilization Charge" would cover the possibility of spending in order to attract customers who may have switched to another supplier.The Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC) has said that current charges should cover expenditures for reliable service, and that additional charges on these grounds are not justified. The implementation, modification or rejection of various elements of FirstEnergy's plan will be decided by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
