Are new fossil-fired power plants being built at alarming rates?However, despite strides in shutting down carbon-emitting power stations, new fossil-fired plants are being built at alarming rates. In 2024, 44 GW of coal and nearly 52 GW of gas-fired plants were added to the global power mix, while just over 30 GW were shut off.
Will net power build a new natural gas plant in Texas?Officials in Austin, Texas, in the ERCOT territory, are set to vote Dec. 12 on plans for a new natural gas-fired plant in that city. NET Power, a Texas-based group, on Monday said it had an agreement to build about 1 GW of new gas-fired capacity in California. It said the plants would use Carbon TerraVault’s carbon capture and storage technology.
Will renewable capacity additions support the growth of electric power generation?We expect that planned renewable capacity additions will support most of the growth in U.S. electric power generation, which we expect will increase by 2% in 2025 and by 1% in 2026. The U.S. electric power sector produced a total of 4,155 billion kilowatthours (kWh) of electricity in 2024, up 3% from 2023.
How many natural gas-fired power plants will be built in 2024?S&P Global Market Intelligence in a May 2024 report said its data shows “U.S. utilities and investors plan to add 133 new natural gas-fired power plants to the nation’s grid” over the next few years. POWER recently reported on Entergy Louisiana’s plan to build 2.2 GW of new gas-fired capacity in that state.
Why are new natural gas-fired power plants being built?The availability of domestic natural gas, along with increased demand for electricity from data centers and other technology-related ventures, also is driving construction of new natural gas-fired power plants, with an analytics firm recently saying more than 200 gas-fired units are in development across the U.S.
What new technologies will be able to build on fossil-fired power plants?Most exciting is that new technologies such as long duration batteries and advanced nuclear power are looking to build on these sites, too. Retiring fossil-fired power plants and developing clean power generation are critical challenges to global decarbonizati
