What might the U.S. power system look like in 10 years?
We explored this question in a new analysis of electricity demand, carbon intensity, and absolute emissions.
Key takeaways:
As U.S. electricity demand rises through 2035, carbon intensity and absolute emissions fall.
New gas capacity (91 GW) replaces coal, oil, and less-efficient gas units.
Solar and wind add 292 GW with battery storage (63 GW).
Permitting reform is an accelerant.
