Operators have scheduled 14.9 gigawatts of electric generating capacity to retire in the United States during 2022, according to our latest
. The majority of the scheduled retirements are coal-fired power plants , followed by natural gas and nuclear .After substantial retirements of U.S. coal-fired electric generating capacity from 2015 to 2020 that averaged 11.0 GW a year, coal capacity retirements slowed to 4.6 GW in 2021. However, we expect retirement of coal-fired generators to increase again this year; 12.
The largest coal power plant planning to retire in 2022 is the 1,305-megawatt William H. Zimmer plant in Ohio. Morgantown Generating Station in Maryland plans to retire its two coal-fired units in June, followed by two of the plant’s six smaller petroleum-fired units in September.In 2022, 1.2 GW of U.S. natural gas-fired capacity is scheduled for retirement.
The largest U.S. natural gas plant planning to retire in 2022 is the Meramec power plant in Missouri. Meramec, which has four generating units, was originally a coal-fired plant. Two of the plant’s generators were converted to use natural gas in 2016. These units, as well as the plant’s two coal-fired units, plan to retire in December 2022.At 0.8 GW, nuclear capacity retirements represent 5% of expected retirements in 2022 and less than 1% of the operating U.S. nuclear fleet.
