“Challenges in the areas of energy and the environment can be met not by doing without technology but rather by continuing to develop it to save energy and protect the environment in other words by developing more efficient technologies.” ~James Rogers, former CEO and President of Duke Energy

DO YOU KNOW…

Renewable energy is wreaking havoc on the grid. Solar and wind power are intermittent sources that rely on carbon-emitting natural gas as a backup fuel when the weather isn’t cooperating. Moreover, wind requires 360 times as much land area to produce the same amount of electricity as a nuclear plant, and solar requires 75 times the land area.

America’s use of coal for electricity dropped to its lowest point in the historical record in 2015, delivering a new blow to an industry already in painful decline. It was the smallest share for coal in the electricity mix since 1949, the first year in which Energy Information Administration records were kept. Coal made up 39% of electricity supply in 2014, the annual report said.

Coal fired power plants are now forced to swing load impacting plant reliability.

The electric power industry is capital intensive it is spending approximately $75 billion per year for major transmission, distribution, and smart grid system upgrades; new, cleaner generation capacity; and environmental and energy-efficiency improvements.

Electric companies are investing in energy efficiency and are promoting innovative options for making energy efficiency part of their business model (demand and generation).

The Energy Information Administration expects coal plant closures to reach 90 gigawatts by 2020 (enough to deliver reliable power to 73 million homes).

Last year 3,600 megawatts of nuclear-generating capacity were closed down, compared with 4,500 megawatts of coal power.

There is no avoiding the fact that more fossil fuels will be used for power production to compensate for the loss of nuclear power. Renewables and improvements in energy efficiency alone won’t meet energy requirements.

What does this mean to WEG / Electric Machinery and our Valued Channel Partners? OPPORTUNITY!!!

Register for the webinar to learn more about the power generation industry and how WEG / Electric Machinery and Channel Partners can better position ourselves in the rapidly changing power generation industry, VALUE ADDED SERVICE!!!!! We (WEG/EM) have the solutions, the trick is how to make the business case.
