  • The average cost of generating electricity through solar energy will decrease substantially, by 60% from 2020 to 2050, even when factoring in the growing demand for energy storage. The Conversation
  • Global use of coal and gas to generate electricity would each be 15% lower than expected under current policy settings - and CO2 emissions in the power sector would also be 15% lower. Carbon Brief
  • LEAG's transition to renewable energy has been initiated by Germany's commitment to phase out all coal-generated electricity by 2038 at the latest, without using natural gas. BizClik Media Ltd.
  • Turkey plans to generate electricity from the first reactor at Akkuyu nuclear facility in 2024 and commission the entire plant within 3-4 years. Global X ETFs - Australia
  • Because natural gas is the most common fuel used to generate electricity in the United States, we expect that retail electricity prices will also be down slightly from last year, as the lower price that power plants pay for natural gas passes through to retail electricity rates. EIA - Energy Information Administration
  • The 1800-km Watay power transmission line will ultimately connect 17 remote First Nations to the Ontario power grid, removing their reliance on diesel-generated electricity. Electrical Business
