NextEra's Rebecca Kujawa nails it: "[T]here's this underlying current of [renewable] demand that has been far less affected than you might think by the headlines...about what's going on in the industry." Read more at ieefa.org/resources/ieef…

Another knock on the reliability of fossil fuels...... Drought threatens coal plant operations — and electricity — across the West npr.org/2022/08/26/111…

Another sign of the energy transition: U.S. utility-scale solar generation totaled 102.6 million megawatt-hours through September--already more than the annual total in 2021. And the Inflation Reduction Act means that growth is just a precursor of things to come.

Six years in and Chevron still has no timeline for when CO2 injection at Gorgon LNG - the world’s biggest carbon storage project not designed to boost oil production - will be working. Meanwhile, millions of tonnes of CO2 are vented every year. watoday.com.au/business/compa…

The cost of NuScale's planned small modular reactor has skyrocketed. The Utah utilities backing the project need to issue an RFP for alternatives. Cheaper, and equally reliable options, are available. See our latest at ieefa.org/resources/geot…

More problems for UAMPS and NuScale. Power from their planned SMR will now cost an estimated $89/MWh, with years of construction still to come. See our latest ieefa.org/resources/eye-…

Xcel CEO Bob Frenzel says company's wind resources have saved customers $3 billion in fossil fuel costs since 2017. Sounds like other utilities should follow suit. See more on rapid transitions at ieefa.org/resources/feas…

100,000MW of forced outages for gas and coal generators during Winter Storm Elliott. It's time for new thinking on fossil fuel reliability. See our latest at ieefa.org/resources/foss…

Wind and solar in Texas have generated 40+% of the state's electricity through April. Add nuclear and ERCOT is 50% carbon free. Tell me again why the state legislature wants to stop this transition to cleaner, cheaper fuels

The U.S. Department of Energy last week selected five power projects for potential funding in its carbon capture and storage program; IEEFA continues to oppose the retrofit of coal-fired power plants with CCS. ieefa.org/resources/prop…

Solar generation in ERCOT topped 3 million megawatt-hours for the first time in May, and has provided more than 6% of the system's power needs year to date. Rapid transitions are possible, Texas should embrace that change. ieefa.org/resources/feas…

Renewable energy milestones have been common in the first five months of 2023. See our latest research at ieefa.org/resources/apri…

More problems for CCS, this time in the steel industry. See IEEFA's latest analysis ieefa.org/resources/no-m…

Despite rising electricity demand, #EIA expects coal and gas generation to fall in 2024 as renewable output increases. Looks like a tipping point.... More info at eia.gov/outlooks/steo/

“The history of CCS has been that of great disappointment,” said Fatih Birol, IEA’s executive director. IEEFA has been saying this for years, check out our research at ieefa.org/topic/carbon-c…

CCS proponents say the quiet part out loud--the technology doesn't really work via The Energy Mix theenergymix.com/2023/10/24/thi…

Two key takeaways from IEEFA's latest transition analysis--coal's monthly market share fell below 15% twice this year, a first, and its share likely will not top 20% once, another first. Read more at ieefa.org/resources/coal…

Electric companies that don't transition to renewables and storage are going to end up as "relics on the side of the road,” says Mark Gabriel, CEO of Colorado co-op United Power. We couldn't have said it better. theenergymix.com/2023/11/17/8-r…
