measurementIn the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reference case, the nuclear share of U.S. electricity output is estimated to fall to approximately 17 percent by 2040, while fossil energy (principally coal and gas) is projected to account for 66 percent of all generation.
measurementThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for an advanced carbon-emitting gas plant entering service in 2022 is more than 70 percent lower per megawatt hour (MWh) than that for a pollution-free solar photovoltaic (PV) plant.
measurementThe U.S. Energy Information Administration's Annual Energy Outlook 2014 'Reference Case' projects that coal, natural gas, and petroleum will supply 68 percent of total U.S. electricity generation in 2040, a figure virtually identical to the 2012 usage levels.
claimThe EIA, IEA, and private-sector reference forecasts project that fossil fuel-based energy (coal, natural gas, and petroleum) will constitute approximately 60-70 percent of energy inputs for power generation.
measurementThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for an advanced carbon-emitting gas plant entering service in 2022 is approximately 43 percent lower per megawatt hour (MWh) than the cost for an offshore wind plant.
referenceThe Energy Information Administration (EIA) 2014 Annual Energy Outlook includes an 'Accelerated Nuclear Retirement' scenario which assumes that operating and maintenance costs for nuclear power plants grow by 3 percent per year through 2040 and that all nuclear power plants not retired for economic reasons are retired after 60 years of operation.
measurementIn the Energy Information Administration (EIA) 'Accelerated Nuclear Retirement' scenario, 42 gigawatts-electric (GWe) of nuclear capacity is retired by 2040.
measurementThe Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that U.S. electricity consumption will grow by 20 percent by 2040.
measurementThe Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects an almost 90 percent increase in world nuclear capacity and a 14 percent share of global electricity generation by 2040.

referenceThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) defines levelized costs of new generation resources as the average of construction, financing, fuel, maintenance, and tax credit costs over the life of a power plant, expressed in 2024 dollars.
claimThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) defines baseload as the minimum amount of electric power delivered or required over a given period of time at a steady rate.
measurementThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that utility-scale nuclear electricity generation maintained a capacity factor greater than 90% for the years 2014-2023, meaning it provided more than 90% of its maximum potential electricity output annually.
claimThe Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports on electricity generation, capacity, and sales in the United States include data for generators with a capacity of 1 megawatt (MW) or greater.

claimThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecast for nuclear generation assumes that remaining nuclear reactors will operate for up to 80 years, accounting for known plant retirements.
measurementThe U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that by 2050, wind capacity will increase by approximately 70 percent and solar capacity will be 11 times greater, together producing around 1,200 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
referenceThe U.S. Energy Information Administration’s 'Annual Energy Outlook 2018' provides generation forecasts for nuclear power, wind, and solar energy from 2016 to 2050.
