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.

AEP Lays Off Coal Miners in Ohio, West Virginia
LCG, Jan. 15, 2001American Electric Power Co. said Friday it would lay off 370 miners at its Central Ohio Coal Mine and its Windsor Coal Mine in West Virginia.The two mines produce high-sulphur coal, which is not easily used because of U.S. emissions standards. The company said in March 1998 that the Ohio mine would be closed and announced its plans to shut down Windsor in July 1999.Last August, AEP said it was seeking to sell both mines because their operating costs had become too high, and had engaged Rothschild, investment bank, to handle the sale. Charles Ebetino, a senior vice president, said "Efforts to sell the mines will continue, and the sales process is progressing."The 145 employees laid off at the Ohio mine represent 97 percent of its workforce and the 225 laid off at Windsor 96 percent of its workforce.
