Solar Tops Coal In US Power Mix For The First Month Ever Solar power held a record-high 12.8% share of US electricity supply in May, overtaking coal-generated power for the first full month on record, energy think tank Ember said in a report on Wednesday. As OilPrice notes, while the share of solar-generated power jumped to a record high for a full month, the share of coal in the U.S. electricity mix slumped to 12.2% last month, the fourth-lowest monthly share of coal ever. Solar generated an all-time high total of 45.5 terawatt-hours (TWh) in May, up by 17% from a year earlier and surpassing the previous record set in July last year, according to Ember's data. In May, solar also became the third-largest source of electricity in the U.S., behind natural gas and nuclear power generation. At the same time, coal generation hit an all-time monthly low of 39.3 TWh in April 2026. Coal power output rebounded to 43.4 TWh in May, but still remained 11% below May 2025 levels. “Overtaking coal for th...

Trump Admin Announces $850MM To Modernize US Coal Capacity, Build 2 New Plants By Robert Walton of UtilityDive The Trump administration approved 76 coal-related permits in more than a year of efforts to revive the flagging fuel and execute an agenda of “energy dominance.” His latest attempt includes tapping Defense Production Act funding to expand the industry. “Last year we prevented 17 GW of coal-powered electricity from going offline. That's enough power for about 13 million homes, and at a very low price. It's the lowest price,” Trump said of coal resources. But critics say the opposite is true. “This move, along with the President blocking the retirement of old coal plants that are too costly to operate, is making most Americans poorer,” Jenkins said. “This is a total misuse of the Defense Production Act, a giant giftwrapped payout to subsidize and prop up a flailing industry that can no longer compete in the free market.” The coal funding is “another example of Trump...
