LCG, February 20, 2026--The EIA today issued an "in-brief analysis" that estimates U.S. power plant developers and operators plan to complete a record installation of 86 GW of new, utility-scale electric generating capacity that is connected to the U.S. power grid in 2026. Last year, 53 GW of new capacity was added to the grid, which was the largest capacity installation in a single year since 2002. Thus the estimate of 86 GW of new capacity in 2026 is a whopping 33 GW greater than the year prior. It should be noted that over 20 GW of the 86 GW of new capacity this year is estimated to be completed in December.

PG&E Suspends Dividend, Says it's Almost Out of Cash
LCG, Jan. 11, 2001PG&E Corp. said yesterday it will not pay on Monday the 30-cent dividend declared by its board of directors in October. Its utility subsidiary Pacific Gas & Electric Co. not only will not pay its regular preferred stock dividend, it won't pay the parent company its $110 million dividend.Nobody gets paid except the power producers and natural gas suppliers, and PG&E said it won't have enough cash to pay them in a few days.In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday, PG&E Corp. said it cannot borrow more money to buy power or natural gas and called upon California Gov. Gray Davis to "use his emergency powers to permit the state to provide temporary financial assistance to meet the demands of gas suppliers."PG&E said it may be forced to cut off electricity and natural gas deliveries to some of its 12 million customers unless it receives "immediate regulatory, legislative or judicial relief." Without that relief, the company said, it will default on its current obligations.
