SUGAR LAND--May 20, 2019--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--U.S. coal stockpiles decreased to 98.7 million tons in February 2019, their lowest value in more than a decade, as the Power Generation Industry continues its long-term shift away from the fossil fuel, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Industrial Info is tracking three dozen maintenance-related projects at coal-fired power-generation units that are set to begin from now through the end of summer. These projects are found in every U.S. market region except the West Coast, where state-level incentives have discouraged the fossil fuel's utilization.
