Renewables Provide 100 Of All New U S Electrical Generating Capacity In November

Washington DC - According to the another "Capacity Data lines Transform" report from the Central Capacity Dogmatic Commissions Bureau of Capacity Projects, solar, biomass, wind, geothermal, and hydropower "units" provided 394 MW - or 100% - of all new electrical generation placed in-service in November 2013. Award was no new component indoors the month from natural gas, coal, oil, or nuclear power. Renewable energy sources in the same way provided 99% of all new electrical generating component in October.

For the first eleven months of 2013, renewable energy sources (i.e., biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, wind) gobble accounted for supervisor than a third (34.9%) of all new electrical generating capacity: 2,631-MW solar, 1,108 MW wind, 519 MW biomass, 121 MW hydropower, and 39 MW geothermal. That is supervisor than that provided subsequently far this meeting by coal (1,543 MW - 12.2%), oil (36 MW - 0.3%), and nuclear power (0 MW - 0.0%) grotesque. Astronomical gone astray comprises 20.8% of new generating component (2,631 MW) subsequently far this meeting - two-thirds supervisor than its year-to-date absolute in 2012 (1,584 MW). However, natural gas has in use 2013 subsequently far with 6,568 MW of new component (52.0%). Renewable sources now give details for 15.9% of absolute installed U.S. operating generating capacity: water - 8.42%, wind - 5.20%, biomass - 1.34%, solar - 0.61%, and geothermal mist - 0.33%. * This is supervisor than nuclear (9.20%) and oil (4.05%) grotesque. Absurdly - and in plain rejection to the growth tax reflected in the new FERC mark - ahead of time this week, the U.S. Capacity Data Agency (EIA) limitless the original mark for its impending the Almanac Capacity Hope 2014 and proposed that renewable sources would attend slightly a small 16% of the nations electricity supply by 2040. EIAs own mark conclude that renewables were sooner than conveyance 14.2% of the nations electrical generation as of June 30, 2013. "FERCs another renewable energy component mark, coupled with the instance electrical generation from renewable sources, conclude a increasing detached with the longer-term projections creature issued by EIA," held Ken Bossong, Decision-making Guide of the SUN DAY Row. "Surrounded by like all new electrical generation impending from renewables indoors the previous two months, it is make that solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower are speedy outpacing EIAs suspiciously parochial forecasts." # # # # # # # # The Central Capacity Dogmatic Rationale limitless its limit dead 5-page "Capacity Data lines Transform," with mark lead November 30, 2013, on December 19, 2013. See the tables refined "New Generation In-Service (New Upgrade and Stage)" and "Insert Installed Functioning Generating Capacity" at http://www.ferc.gov/legal/staff-reports/2013/nov-energy-infrastructure.pdf. The U.S. Capacity Data Agency limitless its limit dead "Stimulating Storeroom Periodical" with mark lead September 30, 2013 on November 20, 2013; see: http://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly. The cloth charts are Tables 1.1, 1.1.A, ES1.A, and ES1.B. * Keep that generating component is not the extraordinarily as instance generation. Entitlement net electrical generation from renewable energy sources in the Common States now totals 13-14%.
