In-brief analysis

September 29, 2025

Two electricity markets in the Midwest still generate more electricity from coal than from natural gas in at least some months of the year: Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO). We expect these two regions will generate more electricity from coal than from natural gas in some upcoming winter months, based on forecasts in our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook.

As recently as 2021 and 2022, both SPP and MISO were producing more electricity from coal than from natural gas in every month of the year. More recently, coal has exceeded natural gas only in the winter months, when demand for space heating and related demand for electricity increase. In MISO and SPP, we expect coal generation to exceed natural gas generation from December 2025 through February 2026.
