Q: What percentage of proposed generation uses natural gas?
A: The tables below, produced by New Entrants, show that 95% of all currently proposed power projects will use Natural Gas as their primary fuel source. Whether or not this trend continues over the long run is difficult to predict. You can be confident that New Entrants 10-year data horizon will help you identify any future erosion in the dominance of natural gas, should it occur.
