NOTE: this is a late post for January. February 2024, for December 2023 will be released tomorrow (Monday February 26).
Electric Power Monthly, January 2023 for November 2023.
Generation:
All: -1.2 down, up
Natural Gas: +8.3 up, up
Wind: -5.0 down, up
Coal: -4.9 down, down
Solar: +1.8 up, up
Hydro: -0.7 down, down
Oil Coke: -0.4 down, down
Nuclear: +0.2 up, down
Other Gas: +0.0 up, up
Capacity (+/-GW):
Solar PV: +0.98
NG CCGT: +0.59
Batteries: +0.50
Wood: -0.06
Hydro: +0.03
Petroleum Liquids: +0.01
Wind: +0.01
Highlights:
- Natural gas' rise continues, with more generation, higher capacity factors and more capacity additons.
- But, batteries continue to be added to the grid, possibly displacing some other peaker generation.
- PV increases, but wind doesn't. It's not been a particularly end to the year.
- Coal down, continuing to be lower every month than in 2020. But no capacity change. Capacity factor again below 40%, making it 6 months of 2023 below 40%.
