Electric generators plan more natural gas-fired capacity after few additions in 2024

In-brief analysis

June 11, 2025

Developers plan to add 18.7 gigawatts (GW) of combined-cycle capacity to the grid by 2028, with 4.3 GW already under construction, according to our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory. Although electricity generators fueled by natural gas have provided more electricity in the United States than any other source since 2016, hardly any new natural gas capacity came online last year.

Combined-cycle units contribute to grid operation, reliability
Relatively efficient combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) account for most of the natural gas-fired generating capacity in the United States. CCGT units are flexible and can quickly ramp up or down to respond to changes in power supply, supporting the reliability of the transmission system especially as more renewable capacity is integrated in the system.

The design lifetime of CCGT units is typically 25 years

An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 occurred early morning on Wednesday, June 11th, 2025, at 6:21 am local time near Hemet, Riverside County, California, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 6.7 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.1. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.0.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include San Jacinto (pop. 47,000) located 6 miles from the epicenter, Banning (pop. 30,900) 6 miles away, East Hemet (pop. 17,400) 8 miles away, Hemet (pop. 83,900) 8 miles away, and Beaumont (pop. 43,800) 9 miles away. In Yucaipa (pop. 53,300, 17 miles away), Menifee (pop. 87,200, 17 miles away), Moreno Valley (pop. 204,200, 22 miles away), and Riverside (pop. 322,400, 31 miles away), the quake
