U.S. Coal-fired Generating Capacity Retirements in 2025 Are Less Than 20 Percent of Retirements in 2022

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.

EPA Proposes Rule Changes to Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Requirements to Restore American Energy Dominance

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 York Power Authority Stops Pursuing the Great Lakes Offshore Wind Project

LCG, September 29, 2011--The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees voted to terminate the process without awarding a contract to develop the proposed Great Lakes Offshore Wind Project (GLOW). The evaluation the proposals indicated the project was technically feasible; however, the cost for the 120-MW to 500-MW project proposals would have been two to four times greater than land-based wind.

NYPA estimated that development of a 150-MW GLOW project would have resulted in an estimated annual subsidy ranging from $60 million to $100 million. The subsidy and the current economic conditions were the reasons for the Trustees' action.

"While deciding not to proceed with GLOW, the Power Authority will continue its commitment to developing and implementing wind and other clean alternative energy sources to produce emissions-free power for the benefit of New Yorkers today and for future generations," said Gil C. Quiniones, acting president and chief executive officer, NYPA. "The Power Authority's participation in the evaluation of the LI-NYC Offshore Wind Project and in the regional efforts of such organizations as the Great Lakes Commission and the Great Lakes Wind Collaborative shows NYPA's dedication to affordable and environmentally-sound development of future offshore wind projects in New York State waters."

NYPA, together with Con Edison of New York and the Long Island Power Authority, is continuing to evaluate the LI-NYC Offshore Wind Project in the Atlantic Ocean off the southern coast of Long Island.
