The economic, health, and jobs impacts of CEPs compared with every proposed US gas plant in 2021

The report assesses the viability of proposed gas power plants in the US against 'clean energy portfolios'—combinations of solar, wind, storage, demand flexibility, and energy efficiency—noting that over 88 gigawatts of gas capacity were proposed in 2021 despite economic and policy shifts favoring clean alternatives.

• In 2021, more than 88 gigawatts of gas power plants were proposed across the United States, despite a common perception of gas as a 'bridge' to a clean energy future.
• Clean energy portfolios, which integrate solar, wind, storage, demand flexibility, and energy efficiency, are capable of providing the same services as proposed gas plants.
