US Coal consumption for electricity generation fell by 40 million short tons (MMst) (4 percent) in 2011.
Electric power sector coal consumption is forecast to decline by an additional 2 percent in 2012 as generation from natural gas, nuclear, and wind increases and electricity consumption grows by less than 1 percent. EIA expects electric power sector coal consumption to continue declining in 2013 as increased output from other generation sources meets growing demand for electricity.
