The US cumulative installed power generation capacity grew at a CAGR of 2.9% during 1998""2008, mainly driven by 10 states. These states accounted for 52% of the total growth in cumulative installed power generation capacity in the US during 1998-2008. Most of the states in the US are experiencing three major trends in their electricity markets, which include growing investments in renewables due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) mandate, investments in clean coal technologies, or investments in building or expanding natural gas infrastructure primarily to tap recent discoveries of enormous recoverable shale gas reserves.
