In-brief analysis

July 14, 2025

Based on what power plant owners and operators have reported to EIA, the total operating capacity of U.S. coal-fired power plants is scheduled to fall from 172 gigawatts (GW) in May 2025 to 145 GW by the end of 2028, according to our Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory. On a regional basis, 58% of the planned coal capacity retirements are in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Coal consumption in the U.S. electric power sector has fallen since its peak in the late 2000s because of increased competition from other electricity sources, especially from natural gas and renewables. Furthermore, coal-fired power plants have been subject to regulations regarding emissions that require plants to add equipment, modify processes, or stop operation.

Our inventory of operating capacity and planned retirements reflects power plant operators’

The project goal is to specify, design and implement an environment to develop and deploy Machine Learning (ML) models. Therefore, it will be necessary to understand the requirements defined by the different project groups, which develop different ML models for ocean energy systems. It will be necessary to research alternatives and adapt them to the context, involving research in the area of ​​Software Engineering and ML, following MLOps concepts. We expect to prepare an MLOps environment that meets these needs, defines and executes a process for deploying these models.

Requirements for the candidate

·        Have extensive knowledge of programming, preferably in Python language

·        Knowledge of Software Engineering
