By 2020 the United States of coal structure of the power market share will drop to 24%

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: in the next few years, America's booming solar and wind energy will bring a fresh blow to the coal industry. According to a report released Friday by the U. S. department of energy, with solar and wind can dominate renewable energy is expected to become one of the fastest growing in the next two years the United States at least energy to generate electricity.

the energy information administration, says the EIA, driven by rapidly falling price, utility scale solar power is expected to grow by 10% in 2019, by 2020 will grow by 17%. At the same time, wind power is expected to increase 12% and 14% respectively, and the king of the power industry of coal continued to decline rapidly.

according to the EIA, last year, the proportion of total electricity from coal-fired power plants had fallen to 28%, down from 45% in 2010. By 2020, the coal market share is expected to drop to 24%. U. S. coal consumption in 2018 dropped by about 4%, its lowest level since 1979.

　　“ Coal is a kind of expensive technology, can no longer compete, & throughout; Carbon Tracker new energy strategist Kingsmill Bond said.

although Donald & middot; Trump the President promised to revive the coal industry in trouble. Last month, the government announced plans to trump to reverse the Obama era of coal emissions rules, so that more easy to open a new factory.

but in addition to environmental regulations, coal is clean energy, especially natural gas the influence of the fierce competition. Because of the shale revolution, the United States has a lot of cheap natural gas. In 2016, natural gas, coal became the main source of fuel for the first time.

according to the EIA, gas electricity market share in the United States is expected to be increased from 35% in 2018 to 37% in 2020. Expect the except hydropower renewable energy will increase from 10% in 2018 to 13% in 2020.

due to the economy and concern on climate change, power plants will continue to stay away from coal. EIA has said that 2018 could be retired coal-fired power plant's second largest for a year. For example, a service in the west and Midwest states Xcel Energy ( XEL） Last month announced plans to provide 100% carbon-free power before 2050. Xcel hopes to double its wind power, at the same time to cut reliance on coal.

households and companies are also installing their own solar panels, to reduce the carbon footprint. Says the EIA, small-scale solar power over the next two years is expected to surge 44%.

at the same time, large companies is becoming more and more hope to buy more clean energy. For example, Enel Green Power North America last year reached to bloomberg, general motors ( GM） ，Facebook（ FB） And Adobe ( ADBE） Provide wind agreement. Earlier this month, as part of the Enel, the Italian energy giant group, Enel has announced plans to build 600 million dollars worth of wind farm in Texas. Rely on renewable energy to replace fossil fuels, Enel says wind farms can reduce emissions more than 1. 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
