Energy pensions threaten the stability of the American electrical network, according to the DEE report
The energy secretary, Chris Wright, explains how the Trump administration accelerates energy projects and brings common sense to regulations on deep household appliances: revitalize America.
The Trump Administration Department (DOE) has published a report on Monday that found that the currently planned pensions of installations generating energy associated with delays in putting new sources of electricity online could lead to an increase in Panus breakdowns by the end of this decade.
Doe’s report revealed that with around 104 capacity gigawatts generating energy that were to be removed by 2030, current failures could see a significant increase if this capacity is not replaced in a timely. It is estimated that annual breakdown hours could go from figures today to more than 800 hours a year.
The agency noted that if 104 GW of electricity production should be removed, it should be replaced by 209 GW of new capacity by 2030 – although only 22 GW of this come from basic generation sources. He added that even with the non-retirement hypothesis, the risk of breakdowns in certain regions increases more than 3 times.
“This report says what we already know: the United States cannot afford to continue the unstable and dangerous path of energy subtraction that previous leaders have continued, forcing the closure of basic electricity sources such as coal and natural gas,” said Secretary Scott Wright in a statement.

The report indicates that the demand for electricity increases partly due to the construction of artificial intelligence data centers (AI) with high energy intensity as well as advanced manufacturing facilities.
“In the years to come, the reindustrialisation of America and the AI ​​breed will require a much greater 24 -hour power offer, reliable and uninterrupted,” said Wright.
“The administration of President Trump is committed to advancing an energy addition strategy and supporting all affordable, reliable and secure forms of energy,” he added. “If we want to keep the lights on, win the AI ​​race and prevent electricity prices from skyrocketing, the United States must release American energy.”

The DOE said that its cutting -edge tests passed to assess the adequacy of energy resources “do not take sufficient account for an increasing dependence on neighboring networks”.
He added that “modern methods for assessing resources adequate must incorporate the frequency, extent and duration of current failures, go beyond the exclusive analysis of cutting-edge charging time and develop integrated models to allow an appropriate analysis of increasing dependence on neighboring networks.”

The DoE report was produced in response to President Donald Trump’s executive decree on “strengthening the reliability and safety of the United States electricity network” and provides a methodology to identify risk regions as well as to guide reliability interventions by the federal government.
