Otmane El Rhazi : Power generation from coal and natural gas expected to temporarily converge this spring

Otmane El Rhazi from Today in Energy.

EIA's most recent Short-Term Energy Outlook forecasts that the amount of electricity generation fueled by natural gas in April and May will total just 3% less than the projected amount of coal-fired generation. This convergence has occurred only once before, in April 2012, when natural gas fueled just 1.5% less generation than coal.
