According to the latest report of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, by the end of this year, 20 coal-fired power plants in the United States will be closed (some are already closed), and a total of 16 GW
of coal power capacity will be eliminated.
U.
S.
coal power capacity has fallen by a third
since 2010.
It is reported that the coal power plants retired this year reached 127,000 GWh of capacity in 2017, equivalent to the electricity
consumption of 12 million households.
The report also revealed that half of the electricity shortfall caused by the reduction in coal power is supplied by natural gas
.
Natural gas consumption currently amounts to 1.
5 billion cubic feet
per day.
In the future, fierce competition from cheap natural gas and zero-marginal-cost renewables will continue to drive coal plant closures, especially in
the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
The report also predicts that nearly 37 GW of coal power capacity will be withdrawn from the market by 2025
.
