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.

East Timor and Australia Discuss "Land" Rights over Timor Sea
LCG, May 7, 2002--East Timorese and Australians will attempt to come to some agreement over development of resources in the Timor Sea. Petro Timor insists that in 1974 Portugal granted it concessions to develop oil and gas resources in the Timor Sea. After Indonesia invaded East Timor the following year, rights were awarded to other companies. In 1999, East Timor separated from Indonesia and has been since renegotiating with Australia regarding resources. One particular issue to be discussed is the Sunrise-Troubador gas field, of which 20 percent is in areas shared by the two nations. Woodside Petroleum Ltd. Osaka Gas, Phillips Petroleum, and Royal Butch/Shell Group are currently involved in a joint venture to develop Sunrise. Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer says arrangements between the companies and East Timor have repercussions for Australia since Phillips is seeking Australian tax concessions to offset royalties to East Timor. However, he is optimistic that all parties will come to an acceptable resolution.According to Downer, is is hoped that an agreement will be reached by May 20, when East Timor is due to become fully independent from U.N. administration.
