摘要

Many utilities are expanding portfolios of power generation assets, and as older coal-fired plants retire, utilities are deciding what must replace them. While some older plants are candidates for retrofitting to natural gas, others will be forced to shut down. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that the federal government's most recent forecasts project about 49 giga-watts of coal-fired generation capacity could be retired within the next eight years - facilities driven from the market by a combination of increased Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rulemaking and cheaper natural gas. Since 2010, and with the recent dramatic drop in natural gas prices in North America, natural gas displacement of coal as a primary fuel for power generation has been accelerating. Last spring, the EIA reported for the first time, natural gas and coal provided an equivalent share of the power produced in the United States, each providing about 96 million megawatt hours in that month. In fact, the EIA also projects that natural gas-fired plants will account for 63% of capacity additions from 2012-2040, compared with 31% for renew-ables, 3% for coal and 3% for nuclear.
