According to Anadolu News on May 27th, the U.
In the United States, natural gas power generation is facing increasing competition from renewable energy power generation, as the installed capacity of wind and solar power plants has recently reached record levels.
The agency's "Hourly Grid Monitoring" data shows that in the first four months of 2021, the 48 states in the United States will generate an average of 3394 gigawatt hours (GWh) of natural gas per day.
Overall, due to the colder winter weather, the country’s power generation during this period has increased by 6.
Data show that from May 2020 to February 2021, the newly added wind and solar integrated net power generation capacity in the United States increased by 15% to 22.
The agency said that since April 2020, the price of natural gas in the United States has risen because of reduced natural gas production and increased winter heating demand compared with the previous winter heating season (from October 2020 to March 2021).
The rise in the price of natural gas in the United States has reduced the competitiveness of natural gas power generation relative to coal-fired power generation, prompting natural gas fuels to switch to coal fuels.
According to EIA, compared with the same period in 2020, the country's coal-fired power generation in the first four months of 2021 has increased by nearly 40%, accounting for 23% of the total power generation.
The report said: "We expect the decline in natural gas power generation to continue until 2022.

US natural gas generation declines 7% in 2021
US natural gas generation in 2021 saw its first year-over-year decline since 2017 of 7% due to higher natural gas prices and increased competition from renewables, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Tuesday.
Natural gas-fired generation has been facing increased competition from renewable generation in the US because of recent record-high capacity additions to wind and solar power plants.
In the first four months of 2021, natural gas-fired generation in the Lower 48 states averaged 3,394 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per day, data from the agency's Hourly Electric Grid Monitor showed.
Overall, the country's electricity generation during the period increased 6.
Between May 2020 and February 2021, an increase of 15% to 22.
US natural gas prices have risen since April 2020 because of lower natural gas production and higher winter heating demand compared with the previous winter heating season that ran from October 2020 to March 2021, the agency said.
Higher US natural gas prices have made natural gas-fired generation relatively less competitive compared with coal-fired generation, prompting natural gas-to-coal fuel switching.
Coal-fired generation has increased nearly 40% in the country during the first four months of 2021 compared with the same period in 2020 and accounts for 23% of total generation, the EIA said.
"We expect declines in natural gas-fired generation to continue through 2022.
In May's Short-Term Energy Outlook, we forecast natural gas-fired generation will decline 9.
1% in 2021 and a further 0.
7% in 2022," it said.
