Version 0.14 (2024-01-29 17:31:29.593000)
updates: In the United States, the retirement of fossil fuel plants has matched the installation of renewable energy capacity since 2003. The U.S. has not built any new fossil electricity generation facilities in over 20 years. The nation has commissioned and decommissioned approximately 258 GW of gas, coal, and other fossil capacities, while bringing online 162 GW of solar and 150 GW of wind capacity. The U.S. power sector's annual emissions have been reduced by 40% over a similar period, with nuclear and hydropower falling in output, coal being replaced by gas, and wind and solar growing. In 2024, the expected retirement and introduction of fossil fuel plants are projected to offset each other, each contributing less than 5 GW of capacity. However, a shift is anticipated for 2025, with 15 GW of fossils retiring, predominantly coal generation, against the commissioning of just 5 GW of new gas plants. The U.S. is also expected to install over 100 GWdc of new solar power capacity in 2024 and 2025, along with 15 GW of batteries in 2024 and more in subsequent years [2ab7e47c].
