Power generation through natural gas, which remains the primary source in the electric power sector, is expected to grow 3 per cent this summer (June to August), helped by additional capacity and favorable fuel costs, the EIA said on Thursday.
Wind-powered generation will be 7 per cent higher than last summer. Solar, for which most of the new installed capacity was concentrated in Texas and California in recent months, will see a 24 per cent jump.
