Every month, EIA's EIA-860M lists the U.S. generators that developers plan to bring online, each with a planned month. I took every generator planned for the next month and checked whether the next month's file lists it as operating. I did this for every month from August 2015 to August 2026, 133 months in all.

The share fell. By count:

2016-2019: 1,980 of 4,223 (0.469) were listed as operating in their planned month.

2022-2025: 2,110 of 6,047 (0.349).
