2024 Standard Scenarios Report: A U.S. Electricity Sector Outlook

Summary

This report addresses the challenge of understanding the complex future evolution of the U.S. electricity sector by simulating 61 forward-looking scenarios using the Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) model. The approach projects least-cost asset buildout and operation under various constraints, including updated policy impacts and decarbonization targets. This annual report, the tenth edition, provides an outlook on technology deployment, costs, and emissions, with a key finding being the significant decline in non-CCS coal capacity by 2032 across most scenarios.
