LCG, April 13, 2026--The EIA today released an "In-brief Analysis" of U.S. coal-fired generating capacity retirements in 2025. A highlight of the analysis is that, during 2025, the electric power sector retired 2.6 GW of coal-fired generating capacity at four power plants, which is (i) the least since 2010 and (ii) 5.9 GW less than the planned retirement of 8.5 GW at the beginning of 2025.

LCG, April 10, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced yesterday a rule proposing several revisions to the federal regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) and the beneficial use of CCR. The EPA designed the rule to encourage resource recovery, allow for site-specific considerations in permitting, and provide regulatory relief while continuing to protect human health and the environment. The EPA will be accepting comments on the rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and it will also hold an online public hearing on the rule.

Enel Green Power Moves Forward with Installing More Renewable and Storage Capacity in Texas
LCG, July 22, 2022--Enel Green Power announced Wednesday the completion of hybrid wind project, Azure Sky Wind + Storage, and the installation of new battery energy storage systems at the operating Roadrunner and High Lonesome renewable project sites. Through these projects in Texas, Enel Green Power continues its renewables + storage expansion with 350 MW in new generation capacity and 251 MW/376 MWh of battery storage.
The head of Enel Green Power in the US and Canada stated, “We're committed to connecting Texans with clean and cost-effective electricity through our renewable projects. The Azure Sky Wind + Storage project and storage additions at Roadrunner and High Lonesome help to add measurable value in the form of storage capacity and reliability to support the state's electricity system. Enel Green Power's projects provide more generation, more resource diversity, and more dispatchable storage – three key elements of Texas's goal to reform its power grid.”
Azure Sky Wind + Storage is Enel Green Power's first large-scale hybrid wind project globally. The project, located in Throckmorton County, includes a 350 MW wind facility and a battery energy storage system (BESS) rated at 137 MW/205 MWh. Enel Green Power signed an aggregated power purchase agreement (PPA) with corporate partners Akamai, MilliporeSigma, Synopsys and Uber. Kellogg Company, HP Hood and lululemon also signed PPAs to purchase clean energy output.
Enel has added grid-connected battery systems at the Roadrunner Solar and High Lonesome Wind projects. Each battery system adds 57 MW/86 MWh of storage capacity to the grid, supporting grid reliability in a state often experiencing high demand from elevated temperatures and extreme weather. The storage systems also help balance intermittent generation from the renewables-saturated western region of ERCOT. With a total of 170 MWh of energy storage capacity between the two projects, Enel can dispatch flexible capacity, providing services to support resiliency amid shifting grid conditions in ERCOT. Enel plans to operate a portfolio of 12 battery energy storage systems able to store over 1,290 MWh in Texas by early 2023.
Enel is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy n the US and Canada, with plans to add 6.5 GW of new renewable generation and 2,600 MWh of storage capacity by the end of 2024.
