More demand for natural gas

[dan_s]

The EIA expects nearly 32 gigawatts (GW) of new electricity capacity to come online this year, the largest single-year capacity growth in over a decade.

Wind and solar accounted for 2 GW, of the capacity additions so far and are expected to be 11 GW of the total additions by year-end. EIA sees 21 GW of new natural gas fired power plants will be on-line before the end of 2018, which will mark the first year since 2013 that renewables didn’t make up more than 50 percent of new capacity.
