The U.S. Coal Stockpile Estimates
report assesses electric power sector (EPS) coal
inventories by region for the current calendar
month (presently July). It leverages on one of
PIRA’s strengths — our regional power
and fuel consumption projections — in
order to project a forward-looking days
cover (or days burn if you will) estimate for
each of 10 specific regions and the U.S. in
total. All of the major coal basins are
represented across the respective EPS coal stock
regions that PIRA models.
The U.S. Coal Market Forecast is an included deliverable of the
North American Electric Power Retainer Service and the
International Coal Retainer Service. If you are not a client to either of those services but would like to receive the U.S. Coal Market Forecast, contact the
PIRA sales department.
