We expect 22% more U.S. coal-fired generation in 2021 than in 2020, according to our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). The U.S. electric power sector has been generating more electricity from coal-fired power plants this year as a result of significantly higher natural gas prices and relatively stable coal prices.

Over the next 14 years, Alberta said it will need up to $25 billion in new investment in electricity generation to support the transition toward renewable sources of energy and meet its electricity needs. The move to a new market structure was recommended by the Alberta Electrical Systems Operator, which oversees the province’s electricity ...

Of all the energy currently consumed in Canada, about 3,700 PJ (46%) is used to generate electricity. Canada has approximately 112 GW of installed electricity generation capacity, and produces approximately 561,805 GWh of electricity annually11 , resulting in …

The photovoltaic power generation and rapid charging system, for which ULVAC has received an order from Chigasaki City, consists of photovoltaic cells to be installed on the roof of the municipal parking lot (initial power generation 20 kW), power conditioners, rapid chargers (50 kW), normal chargers, power generation control monitors, and so on.

NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO - Ontario Power Generation has granted a contract to an Austrian company to build a new 10.4-kilometre-long tunnel to increase electricity generation from the Niagara River. The announcement comes during a time that Ontario is struggling to meet its energy needs as it shuts down its coal-fired plants.

Fueled by the growing demand for electricity and the relative ease of building new gas-fired plants, more than 200 000 MW or 96 percent of all new electricity generation capacity installed in the United States since 1998 is capable of using natural gas. Today, nearly half of electricity generation capacity south of the border is gas-fired.

Climate Change Putting Electricity Generation At Risk- EF News. LONDON - - Lost life, ecosystem damage, power cuts, job losses and increasingly expensive electricity is the price we pay if governments fail to make their power generation systems more climate-resilient.

The east African country has been resorting to natural gas- fired turbines to compensate for the electricity shortfall. The steadily decreasing rainfall in recent years have forced the Tanzanian authorities to consider diversifying electricity generation so as to reduce sole reliance on hydropower, though affluent in the country but unreliable.

ONTARIO - Ontario has recently marked a significant milestone in its energy sector with the launch of what is being touted as the largest competitive energy procurement process in the province’s history.

In the past, small plants produced electric hydroelectricity. Now, they are massive in size and generation capcity as well as having large reservoirs. If there is a need for power electrical generation stations situated close to the point of consumption is ideal. These are just a few of the many examples of energy produced by falling water.
