North American Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Significant Sources of Power

North American Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Significant Sources of Power

SUGAR LAND--November 18, 2014--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Coal-fired power plants in North America have been in the news lately, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) (Washington D.C.) announcing that as much as 60 gigawatts (GW) of coal-derived power will be retired by 2020. Although coal-fired power generation will drop between 25% and 30% by 2030, according to estimates by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), coal will continue to provide a significant amount of electricity for North American homes and businesses well into the future. Industrial Info is tracking 321 active coal-fired power plant capital projects, worth more than $24 billion in North America.
