For 2027, annual solar generation is projected at 99 BkWh, a 50 percent lead over coal's 66 BkWh. “Natural gas remains the dominant source of electricity generation in ERCOT, accountin...

Global Coal Demand Surges As Middle East Energy Crisis Deepens Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via Oilprice.com, Global coal shipments and imports surged in March and April as buyers scrambled for fuel amid massively disrupted oil and gas supply from the Middle East. The trend has been accelerating in recent weeks, and global coal imports are on track to reach their third-highest monthly level on record, according to estimates by analytics platform Kpler cited by the Financial Times. In the wake of the worst oil and gas supply disruption in history, coal is back in demand, so much so that even countries and regions that believed coal use was in an irreversible terminal decline have boosted imports. For example, last month coal shipments to South Korea, Japan, and the European Union surged by 27% from a year earlier, data from BIMCO, the world's biggest shipowners' association, said last week.   The Asian importers and the European bloc are scrambling for alternatives to gas supply from th...
