Electric Power Monthly, March 2011 Edition, with data for December 2010 [this release links to PDF and xls and associated graphs]

  • “Net generation in the United States was up 3.1 percent from December 2009 to December 2010. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that although temperatures in the contiguous United States as a whole were near normal in December, geographical disparities led to heating degree day totals that were 9.9 percent above the average for December, and 2.4 percent higher than they were in December 2009. The Federal Reserve reported that industrial production was 5.9 percent higher than it had been in December 2009, the twelfth consecutive month that industrial production was higher than it had been in the corresponding months of the previous year. The rise in natural gas-fired generation was the largest absolute fuel-specific increase from December 2009 to December 2010 as it was up 5,239 thousand megawatthours, or 7.3 percent. Increased gas-fired generation in Florida, Alabama, and Pennsylvania accounted for 95.2 percent of the national jump in gas-fired generation. Increased nuclear generation was the next largest fuel-specific rise as it was up 4.2 percent, or 2,973 thousand megawatthours. Increased nuclear generation in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire accounted for 71.7 percent of the national nuclear increase.”
