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.

Funds Provided for Evaluation of 9-MW, Offshore Wind Turbine
LCG, January 29, 2009--The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) announced earlier this month that it will provide approximately $28.5 million to fund research for the an offshore, vertical-axis wind turbine with a targeted electric generating capacity of 9 MW.
The Aerogenerator is a V-shaped turbine designed to spin around a vertical axis to improve efficiency and stability in off-shore operations. The blades would rise approximately 115 feet into the air.
The goal of "Project Nova" is to develop a full-scale, pilot installation within six years. A consortium that includes, OTM Consulting, representatives from Cranfield, Strathclyde and Sheffield Universities, the Center for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture and SME Wind Power, will evaluate the feasibility of the Aerogenerator.
The ETI is a partnership between the UK government and private sector companies, currently including: BP, Caterpillar, EDF Energy, E.ON, Rolls-Royce and Shell.
