Renewables to account for most new generation in 2024, EIA says
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects electricity generation will grow by about 3% in 2024 and 1% in 2025, and renewable energy sources — mainly solar — will supply most of that growth.
Progress! U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions dropped 3% in 2023
According to the EIA, more than 80% of the emissions reductions occured in the electric power sector due to decreased coal-fired generation.
EIA: April 8 Eclipse will ‘briefly’ limit solar generation across the U.S.
Electricity generators in affected areas have detailed their plans to increase generation from other sources to make up for the lost solar output.
Last year, western U.S. hydropower generation fell to a 22-year low
Per data from EIA’s Electricity Data Browser, the least hydropower was generated in the western U.S. during the 2022–23 water year since at least 2001.
As solar capacity grows, duck curves are getting deeper in California
The duck curve presents two challenges related to increasing solar energy adoption: grid stress, and economics.
More than 5 GW of wind came online in the year’s first half, EIA says
Wind generation made up one-third of the 15.1 GW of generating capacity that came online in the United States during the first half of 2022, followed by natural gas, solar, and battery storage. More than 40% of the wind capacity was located in Texas: fully 2.2 GW of the 5.2 GW wind total. The largest renewable projects included the 999
EIA: Global renewable energy consumption nearly reaches that of liquid fuels by 2050
Barring significant changes in policies or trends, U.S. Energy Information Administration modeling forecasts increasing global energy consumption and carbon dio…
Solar+storage to add most new battery storage capacity in the U.S. over next three years
More than half of the battery storage capacity added in the U.S. in the next three years will be paired with a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant, bucking the …
U.S. hydropower generation to decline 14% in 2021 amid drought, EIA reports
In its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts that electricity generation from U.S. hydropower plants wil…
These 3 energy storage technologies can help solve the challenge of moving to 100% renewable electricity
In a recent report, researchers at NREL estimated that the potential exists to increase U.S. renewable energy storage capacity by as much as 3,000% percent by 2…
