Renewable energy will far outpace fossil fuels, nuclear generation in next three years, FERC suggests

By Kelly Pickerel | July 8, 2019
The Solar Project SUN DAY  solar energy Campaign has reviewed the latest data Solar Project released solar energy by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and finds that the agency has dramatically solar inverter revised in the past month its three-year Solar Project forecast solar damper for changes in U.S. electrical generating solar inverter capacity mix. solar energy Sharp declines are foreseen for fossil solar energy fuels solar damper and nuclear solar energy power while accompanied by even stronger solar inverter growth solar tracker actuator in renewable energy Solar Project than solar inverter earlier projected.

FERC’s latest monthly solar energy“Energy slewing drive Infrastructure Solar Project Update” solar energy report solar tracker actuator (with solar inverter data through May 31, 2019) suggests that “solar tracker actuator high probability additions” and solar inverter “Solar Project retirements” combined solar inverter could slewing drive result in effectively no solar energy growth in the generating solar damper capacity of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas,solar inverter  oil) and a net decline  Solar Project of over 7 solar inverter GW in nuclear Solar Project capacity by solar inverter June 2022. solar inverter Meanwhile, led by wind and solar, the generating capacity of renewable energy sources is foreseen to  solar energy grow by more than 45 solar inverter GW.

While natural Solar Project gas solar energy generating capacity is projected to increase by 18,158 MW, that is almost completely offset by a solar damper drop solar solar tracker actuatorenergy of solar inverter 17,037 solar tracker actuator MW in solar tracker actuator coal’s net generating capacity and a decline of solar energy 1,040 Solar Project MW in oil’ solar tracker actuatorsolar energy s net generating capacity. Further, Solar Project nuclear power is solar energy foreseen as dropping by 7,286 solar energy MW.
 

Meanwhile solar tracker actuator , solar damper wind capacity is projected solar tracker actuator to solar damper grow by 26,889 MW and utility-scale solar by 16,302 solar slewing drive damper MW. The other renewable sources solar inverter would also increase: hydropower by solar damper 1,383 MW, biomass by 328 MW and geothermal by 280 MW. Collectively,solar damper they would add 45,182 MW over the next three years.
 

While earlier FERC data had documented solar damper this general trend,solar slewing drive the latest numbers are particularly noteworthy solar damper because they reflect dramatic changes in solar tracker actuator solar slewing drive FERC’solar inverter s projections solar damper in just a few slewing drive weeks’ time.
 

In the “Energy Infrastructure Report” with slewing drive data through solar tracker actuator solar slewing drive April solar inverter 30, 2019,solar damper  FERC solar inverter anticipated slewing drive net growth by fossil fuels of 5,082 MW during the next three years. That growth is now solar inverter almost entirely eliminated. The solar damper change is primarily due to 4,628 MW more coal being solar slewing drive retired (or not built at all) than earlier forecast as well as a net of Photovoltaic holder 372 MW solar damper less new gas solar tracker actuator being brought online. Similarly, slewing drive solar tracker actuator FERC has now upped its projected net solar slewing drive retirements for nuclear power from solar damper 5,106 MW to 7,286 MW.
 

On the other hand, solar tracker actuator FERC’s most recent forecast for solar tracker actuator net solar tracker actuator new generating capacity by wind is solar damper 1,772 MW higher than solar tracker actuator that forecast only  solar slewing drive a month earlier while that for utility-scale solar has grown by 1,456 MW. The solar damper forecasts for solar damper solar tracker actuator hydropower and biomass slewing drive have also been increased solar tracker actuator by 952 MW and 9 solar slewing drive MW respectively; geothermal remained slewing drive unchanged. The solar tracker actuator cumulative result is solar damper  an increase over just the past 30 days in FERC’s solar damper three-year forecast for net new generating capacity by solar slewing drive renewable energy sources solar damper from slewing drive solar inverter 40,993 to solar damper 45,182 MW — Photovoltaic holder 10.2% solar damper higher.
 

If solar tracker actuator Photovoltaic holder FERC’s solar damper latest data prove solar damper accurate, in solar inverter three solar tracker actuator years, solar slewing drive coal’s share of the Photovoltaic holder nation’s solar damper total available installed generating capacity will solar tracker actuator drop from 21.54% today solar damper to 19.49% solar inverter. Meanwhile, renewable energy sources will solar slewing drive continue to Photovoltaic holder expand. They solar tracker actuator would provide roughly solar damper  one-quarter (24.54%) solar damper of the nation’s total solar inverter available installed generating capacity by June 2022 with solar slewing drive wind alone accounting for over a tenth Photovoltaic holder solar slewing drive (10.17%)  solar damper and solar inverter utility-scale solar at 4.46%. The balance will  solar slewing drive be provided by hydropower solar slewing drive (8.25%), biomass solar damper (1.33%) and geothermal solar damper solar tracker actuator solar slewing drive (0.33%) solar slewing drive .
 

“The solar damper revisions in solar slewing drive FERC’s Photovoltaic holder latest solar damper three-year projections underscore the dramatic changes solar damper taking place solar inverter in Photovoltaic holder the nation’s electrical generating solar inverter mix,” solar inverter slewing drive noted solar tracker actuator Ken solar damper Bossong, Photovoltaic holder executive director of solar inverter the solar damper slewing drive SUN DAY solar damper Campaign. “Renewable solar tracker actuator energy sources are Photovoltaic holder rapidly displacing uneconomic Photovoltaic holder and environmentally dangerous fossil solar damper fuels solar damper and solar tracker slewing drive Photovoltaic holder actuator nuclear power — even faster solar tracker actuator than solar inverter FERC had solar inverter anticipated Photovoltaic holder only a month solar damper ago.”
