U.S. electricity generators burned 17 percent more natural gas in September and cut coal use versus a year ago, the Energy Department said today.
Power plants consumed 834.3 billion cubic feet of gas during the month, up from 712 billion in September 2011, the department’s Energy Information Administration said in its Electric Power Monthly report. It represents 4.08 billion cubic feet a day of additional gas demand.
