The industry is composed of companies that generate electricity using natural gas, coal, uranium or crude oil. Strong economic growth and high wages before the pandemic boosted demand for electricity from the commercial, residential and industrial sectors, so revenue rose. Since most businesses were shut down during COVID-19, spending on electricity from companies and manufacturers fell precipitously, hurting thermal power plant operators in 2020. The decline in revenue growth during the pandemic was reduced by high demand for electricity from households, as individuals stuck at home used their lights, computers and other devices more frequently.Hot stuff: Overall capacity and falling production volumes will prevent more profound revenue growth
