Clean Power Plan accelerates the growth of renewable generation throughout United States">Clean Power Plan accelerates the growth of renewable generation throughout United States
(Fri, 17 Jun 2016) EIA's <em>Annual Energy Outlook 2016</em> (AEO2016) Reference case projects that natural gas-fired electricity generation will exceed coal-fired electricity generation by 2022, while generation from renewables—driven by wind and solar—will overtake coal-fired generation by 2029. The shift away from coal-fired generation to a combination of higher natural gas-fired and renewables generation and greater energy efficiency is expected to be accelerated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan (CPP).
