A continuing after interruption; a renewal. 2. A restoration to use, acceptance, activity, or vigor; a revival. of Coal-Fired Generation Conference WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 2004 The Center for Business Intelligence is proud to announce its Prepare for the Resurgence of Coal-Fired Generation conference, June 28-29, 2004, in Chicago, IL. The Energy Information Administration projects that electricity demand will continue to grow at nearly 2% per year. Nearly 14 gigawatts of coal-fired generating capacity might be added in the next 10 years, both to meet new baseload demand and to replace the existing aging fleet. That being said, coal-fired generation projects have many environmental, technical and financial hurdles to overcome. Come to CBI's Prepare for the Resurgence of Coal-Fired Generation conference to learn about the outlook for coal-fired generation.
