U.S. Renewable Energy Consumption Surpasses Coal For 1st Time In Over 130 Years
December 31st, 2020 | by U.S. Energy Information Administration
In 2019, U.S. annual energy consumption from renewable sources exceeded coal consumption for the first time since before 1885, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Monthly Energy Review. This outcome mainly reflects the continued decline in the amount of coal used for electricity generation over the past decade as well as growth in renewable energy, mostly from wind and solar
Renewables = 20.4% of US Electricity Generation
December 27th, 2020 | by Zachary Shahan
In the first 10 months of 2020, renewable energy sources accounted for 20.4% of United States electricity generation. That's up from 17.5% in the same time period in
Solar & Wind = 74.6% of Expected US Power Capacity Growth in Next 3 Years (Charts)
December 21st, 2020 | by Zachary Shahan
Last week, I published an update on US power capacity — new additions as well as total power capacity. The good news was that 100% of new capacity power in October was from renewable sources. The less good news was that only 21.7% of total power capacity is from wind, water, and solar power plants (only counting large-scale solar, not small-scale rooftop solar)

Renewables = 70% of New US Power Capacity in 2020, Solar = 43%
November 30th, 2020 | by Zachary Shahan
In the first three quarters of 2020, renewable energy — almost entirely solar and wind energy — accounted for 70% of new US power capacity, based on official utility-scale power plant data from FERC and small-scale solar power estimates from CleanTechnica
Top 10 States For Renewable Energy, & Their Renewable Energy Splits
November 28th, 2020 | by Zachary Shahan
The U.S. Energy Information Administration recently published a special short profile on New York's renewable energy leadership and split. What I found particularly interesting in the piece, though, was the variation in renewable energy splits in the different top states
US Energy 2050: 100% Carbon-Free, 100% Electric, Up Our Game 6× (Part 2)
October 29th, 2020 | by Brad Rouse
The electric system of 2050 will be around 2.5 times the size of the electric system today due to electrification. But electricity is so much more efficient at producing the final “energy services” (heat, motive power, light, etc.) that total energy use will be far lower than it is today.
The United States Consumed Record Amount Of Renewable Energy In 2019
October 19th, 2020 | by U.S. Energy Information Administration
