What is the overall industrial market update for March 30, 2026?
This is the World Industrial News for Monday, March 30th. Brought to you by Industrial Info Resources of Sugarland, Texas. US natural gas consumption averaged a record 92 billion cubic feet per day in 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration, and operators are trying to keep their plants in the best shape to accommodate demand.
How are U.S. natural‑gas‑fired power plants handling record consumption and maintenance projects?
Industrial Info is tracking nearly 100 maintenance related projects at US natural gas fired power plants that are set to begin in the second quarter. Constellation Energy accounts for more investment than any other parent company, with more than forty-two million dollars of maintenance slated to kick off before the end of June. In what is expected to be a growing trend, Duke Energy Corporation last week received approval from the Public Service Commission of South Carolina to construct a large natural gas-fired power plant in Anderson County. The facility will have a generating capacity just shy of fourteen hundred megawatts, with ninety five megawatts owned by South Carolina's Central Electric Power Cooperative.
Why did Duke Energy receive approval for a new 1,400 MW gas‑fired plant in South Carolina?
Another 100 megawatts will go to the North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation. The plant is expected to begin operations in early twenty thirty-one. Chileans were hit with a significant fuel price increase in the domestic market starting March twenty sixth, after the government sailed back the cushioning effect on its fuel price stabilization amid soaring global oil prices linked to the Middle East conflict. The newly elected government of Jose Antonio Costa adjusted the stabilization mechanism of fuel prices, which had kept fuel prices in check amid higher international prices.
What are the recent fuel‑price changes in Chile and EU gas‑storage directives amid Middle‑East tensions?
The European Union has called on its member states to start filling their gas storage systems much earlier than normal in an effort to avoid spiking already high gas prices due to the worsening conflict in Iran.
