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.

Washington Okays Avista Cost Recovery Plan
LCG, May 25, 2001--The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission has approved an unopposed settlement agreement reached last month between Avista Corp., the staff of the WUTC, the Public Counsel Section of the Washington Attorney General's Office and the Industrial Customers of Northwest Utilities.Under the agreement, Avista will be able to extend to February 2003 a deferred accounting method that will allow it to weather a period of power shortages without increasing rates to its customers, the company said this morning.Avista said it expects to be in a surplus power position next year and the revenues from surplus power sales are expected to offset power costs the company has been incurring since July of last year. The company said it anticipates reducing the power-cost deferral balance to zero by the end of February 2003.In its order, the commission said "Our approval of the Settlement Stipulation offers significant potential that Avista will not seek any increase in rates to its customers related to power supply costs despite the volatility of wholesale power markets in our region during recent periods."Gary G. Ely, Avista's chief executive, said his company has "worked extremely hard to shield our customers from the substantial electric rate increases that others throughout the region are already experiencing."
