Natural gas generation overtook coal generation in 2015 and this will likely repeat in 2016. In this Insight, we forecast coal generation across a wide range of natural gas prices for the next three years. Natural gas price volatility is expected to continue into 2016, as gas market participants respond to the low price environment. Across the range of sensitivities we analysed in 2016, coal demand can vary 362 Mst and natural gas demand in the electric sector can range 16 bcf/d.
