September 12, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The 2024 fall season of maintenance in the U.S. power markets has begun. Power plant operators across the U.S. will tally up 330 gigawatts (GW) of maintenance over the course of this shoulder season, heading into the winter months. Much of the work is related to natural gas-fired facilities that take units offline for short tests or minor scheduled maintenance throughout the year.
