Different solar capacity will be the United States this year's power generation

Solar photovoltaic net news: in 2018 the United States energy information administration power, said in a preliminary statistics, though since 2010 has closed a few plants in the United States, but its nuclear generation broke the record of 2010 last year, because of some plant upgrading, increased power generation capacity, and the national nuclear power plant maintenance and refueling time decreased as a whole.

preliminary statistics show that the United States energy information administration, American nuclear power generating capacity in 2018 a total of 8. 07. 1 billion megawatts, slightly more than 8, 2010. 0. 7 billion megawatts.

energy information agency also said that due to the performance improvement and shorter outage time, increase thermal efficiency and power plant auxiliary system, the capacity factor of the nuclear power plant in 2018 to 92. 6%, set a new record.

however, the record for the 2018 nuclear generation is unlikely in the next few decades, for the next few years only vogt, Georgia, Vogtle） No. 3 and no. 4 reactor will be put into use. Energy information administration said, according to the current announced retirement, by 2025, the new capacity of two reactors will not offset the 12 closed reactor to reduce capacity.

from 2010 to 2018, only the watts of the jurisdiction of the Tennessee valley authority ( Watts Bar） No. 2 reactor ( Capacity of 1. 2 gw) In operation, another 7 total capacity up to 5. 3 GW in 2013 and 2018 gigawatts of nuclear power plants.

, according to data from the energy information administration last year, nuclear power is 19 of the total utility power. 3%, gas accounts for 35. 1%), coal (27. Accounted for 4%, renewable energy sources such as hydropower 17. 1%.

wind, natural gas and solar capacity generating momentum this year will be the United States, coal-fired power generation will be accounted for more than half the total capacity of the plan to retire, followed by natural gas, accounting for 27%, nuclear power accounted for 18%.

this year, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania Pilgrim nuclear plant at three mile island nuclear power plant ( 三哩岛) Retirement plan in May and September respectively, two nuclear power plants a total power of 1. 5 gw.
