NavigatIIR: U.S. South Fuels Natural Gas-Fired Power Plant Maintenance in First Quarter

SUGAR LAND--December 30, 2019--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--U.S. natural gas consumption increased by 11% in 2018, driven by increased natural gas consumption in the Power Generation Industry, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Industrial Info is tracking more than $540 million worth of maintenance projects that are set to begin at natural gas-fired power plants across the U.S. in first-quarter 2020, more than half of which is attributed to projects in the South.
