US coal-fired power generation faces competition
The evolution of northeast US gas marketing may further cut capacity
While most observers have focused on this year's continued rise in US oil output, the prolific Marcellus/Utica natural gas resource in the country's northeast has kept gas prices low and encouraged infrastructure and power generation development. Industry officials say evolving marketing practices may encourage further shifts to gas-fired generation and increased reserve capacity in the key PJM regional transmission region—which coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia.
