US Coal-Gas Switching
Thermal Generation Split
💡
YTD coal generation through September was 530 TWHrs, down 19.5% from last year and down 7% from 2020 during Covid-19 shutdowns
Coal generation bottomed at around 25% of the thermal stack in the spring, bounced back to 30% +/- during peak summer demand and is now lowing share of the thermal stack again as temperatures cool
Trailing 12M coal generation is down -14.3% versus natural gas up 7.7%
Coal + natural gas generation in the U.S. is effectively unchanged year-over-year through the first nine months of 2023
