Renewables now account for 44% of the EU electricity mix and wind power is now producing more electricity than natural gas. Spain reached this milestone with solar PV accounting for 14 %, solar thermal, 1,8 % ; wind power 23,5% ; hydro 9,5 % and other renewables : 1,4 %.

The self-governing PJM stakeholders put this in place after so many supposedly “firm” generators failed to perform in 2014. PJM stakeholders voted on this policy to penalize energy suppliers who merely claim to be reliable and to use that money to reward the suppliers that actually exceed their expected performance.

This system worked so well in the past that gas plants totally dominated new power plant investment from 1990 through 2014. In much of the country, electric power plant choices are now made via competitive markets.

— Solar and wind. According to a paper published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2015, Puerto Rico has 840 megawatts of potential wind power and only 120 MW of installed capacity. The island could thus boost by a factor seven its wind capacity. — Conclusion.

And EIA projects the capacity of wind power, already the largest source of renewable electricity in the country, to grow 4.7 Solar and wind together will leap past coal With all that new generating capacity, wind turbines and solar panels will be producing appreciably more electricity than in years past.
