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.

Canada's Largest Wind Farm Nears Commercial Operations
LCG, October 31, 2008--Canadian Hydro Developers, Inc. (Canadian Hydro) announced yesterday the official opening of the Melancthon EcoPower? Centre a wind project with a electric generating capacity of 199.5 MW. The wind farm is located northwest of Toronto in Melancthon and Amaranth Townships of Ontario.
Phase I of the project provided 67.5 MW capacity and commenced commercial operations in March 2006. Construction on Phase II began last fall, and Canadian Hydro expects to achieve commercial operations in November of this year. Phase II will add 132 MW of capacity to the Melancthon EcoPower? Centre.
The Ontario Power Authority will purchase all of the power generated, together with all of the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), from the EcoPower? Centre through a 20-year supply contract.
Phase II of the wind farm resulted from a successful proposal to the Ontario Ministry of Energy that was approved in November 2005. Phase II is one of nine renewable energy projects totaling 975 MW of electric generating capacity that was approved at that time by Ontario as part of an effort to develop renewable power that would enable the planned closure of existing, coal-fired plants.
