Fired up: Natural gas-based generation will gain ground due to growing electricity use

Coal & Natural Gas Power in the US

Full steam ahead

Economic growth and rising industrial activity will provide a strong foundation for revenue growth over the next five years. Consumers will increase their electricity use as incomes rise, and expanding businesses will support demand for electricity as well. Furthermore, concerns over greenhouse gas emission will stimulate demand for natural gas. While renewable energy-based generation will pose a competitive threat to the industry, it will not likely grow significantly over the next five years.

This industry operates fossil fuel-powered electricity generating plants. The steam generated by burning coal and gas is used to power turbines that generate electricity.

This report covers the

scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
