    New Energy To Keep Booming In 2019

    New electric generating capacity in 2019 will come from renewables and natural gas

    Cara Marcy, January 10, 2019 (U.S. Energy Information Administration)

    “…23.7 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity additions and 8.3 GW of capacity retirements are expected for the U.S. electric power sector in 2019. The utility-scale capacity additions consist primarily of wind (46%), natural gas (34%), and solar photovoltaics (18%), with the remaining 2% consisting primarily of other renewables and battery storage capacity…A total of 10.9 GW of wind capacity is currently scheduled to come online in 2019...Planned natural gas capacity additions are primarily in the form of combined-cycle plants (6.1 GW) and combustion-turbine plants (1.4 GW)…[Solar is scheduled to add 4.3 GW of utility-scale electric power sector solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity…[and] an additional 3.9 GW of small-scale solar PV capacity…

    …Scheduled capacity retirements for 2019 primarily consist of coal (53%), natural gas (27%), and nuclear (18%), with a single hydroelectric plant…and other smaller renewable and petroleum capacity accounting for the remaining 2%...Most of the coal retirements are scheduled to occur at the end of 2019. Half of the planned retirement capacity for coal is at a single plant, Navajo, located in Arizona…The scheduled natural gas retirements (2.2 GW) consist mostly (2.0 GW) of steam turbine plants…that came online in the 1950s or 1960s…Two nuclear plants totaling 1.5 GW are currently scheduled to retire in 2019…” click here for more
