    2015′s Electricity Retirements: 80 Percent Coal Plants

    In the US, electricity demand is growing very slowly, which means that capacity additions don’t have to exceed retirements by much in order to keep the grid functioning.

    18GW of capacity were retired this past year, more than 80 percent of it coal-fired. More than 27GW of utility-scale projects will replace that this year.

    2015’s electricity retirements: 80 percent coal plants
    And 30 percent retired due to more stringent mercury emissions.
