In 2020, the Spanish-based Acciona was the leading electric utility based on renewable capacity worldwide. About ** percent of Acciona’s total capacity was derived from renewable sources in 2020. That year, it operated about *** gigawatts of renewable capacity, including wind, hydro, solar, and biomass. Renewable energy capacity Acciona, a Spanish infrastructure conglomerate, was originally a construction and engineering company but began to invest in renewable energies about 20 years ago. Companies with the lowest share of renewable capacity tend to be located in fossil fuel producing countries such as South Africa, Poland, the United States, and Indonesia. Globally, the share of renewable sources in energy consumption is increasing. In 2018, renewable energy accounted for **** percent of the primary energy consumption worldwide. Renewable energy technologies accounted for almost ** percent of the new capacities added in 2014. Largest Chinese electrical utility China General Nuclear (CGN), a Chinese electric utility, had one of the largest renewable capacities in the world in 2020, totaling ** gigawatts. Utilities in China held a few of the top ten spots in terms of global renewable capacity during this year, largely due to their expansive hydropower usage and its rapidly growing solar market. Many of the country’s largest energy utilities have also increased their investment into wind energies, despite some connection problems. China’s electricity consumption has increased in recent years, reaching a total of ***** terawatt hours in 2020.

In 2024, the United States' cumulative wind capacity reached an estimated 159 gigawatts. Among the various sources of renewable energy capacity, solar and wind capacity have increased significantly in the U.S. since the start of the decade.

In 2020, China Energy Investment was the leading utility worldwide based on renewable energy capacity, with more than ** gigawatts installed. State Power Investment ranked second, with almost ** gigawatts. At the time, six of the top ten renewable electricity utilities were located in China. Global utilities in the renewable energy industry – additional information In 2020, about ** percent of Spain’s Acciona’s electricity capacity was generated from renewable sources, making it one of the leaders among global electricity utilities. While Chinese companies led the ranking in terms of installed capacity, European companies had the largest renewable contribution to the power mix. China General Nuclear was the only Chinese company to make the top 10 that year, generating about ** percent of its total electricity capacity from renewables. China General Nuclear operates nuclear plants in several locations across the country, with more facilities planned for the near future. Despite its name, the utility is also increasing its operations in renewable energy industries, including wind, solar, and hydroelectricity. One of the largest electric utilities in the United States is NextEra Energy, with a market value of roughly *** billion U.S. dollars as of April 2021. NextEra is one of the largest wind owners in the United States. In the U.S., many Midwest utilities are beginning to use power purchase agreements to increase their hold in the wind industry, however, these utilities still tend to rely heavily on local coal resources.

Non-hydropower renewable energy generation in the United States has continuously rose over the years, reaching a peak of 732 terawatt hours, estimated in 2023. In 2014, the generation of non-hydropower renewable energy was larger than hydropower for the first time.

The cumulative capacity of renewable energy in the United States, excluding hydro, has continuously rose in the period under consideration, peaking at an estimated 347 gigawatts in 2023. In 2014, the power-generating capacity of non-hydropower renewables in the U.S. was larger than hydropower capacity for the first time.

This statistic represents the renewable energy generation (including hydropower) in the United States from 2007 to 2018. In 2018, the United States had generated 747 terawatt hours of renewable energy. In 2014, the generation of non-hydropower renewable energy was larger than hydropower for the first time.

This statistic represents PG&E Corporation's renewable energy deliveries in the fiscal year of 2019, by source. In the fiscal year of 2019, the California-based natural gas and electricity provider delivered around ***** gigawatt hour of energy from solar resources.

Utility Renewable Generation by Type and County: 2022 Energy generation data and map are from the California Energy Commission and include utility scale power plants. Plants of any type below 1 MW (e.g residential solar) are not included. Hydroelectric plant of 30 MW and less are considered renewable energy sources in California. Hydroelectric plants over 30MW are non-renewable. Counties without pie symbols has no utility scale renewable electric generation for the year. Data is for 2022 and is current as of August 4, 2023. Projection: NAD 1983 (2011) California (Teale) Albers (Meters). For more information, contact Gordon Huang at (916) 477-0738 or John Hingtgen at (916) 510-9747.

This document features a map of California that contains a pie-chart for each county depicting the proportion of each renewable energy resource used to generate electricity for utility purposes. The types of renewable energy are biomass, geothermal, small hydropower, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and wind. The same data, along with the total electrical generation (gigawatt hours) of each county, is presented in tabular format on the second page of the document. The statewide total electrical generation from renewable resources is given, as well as the totals for each energy type.

Federal and state decarbonization goals have led to numerous financial incentives and policies designed to increase access and adoption of renewable energy systems. In combination with the declining cost of both solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems and rising electric utility rates, residential renewable adoption has become more favorable than ever. However, not all states provide the same opportunity for cost recovery, and the complicated and changing policy and utility landscape can make it difficult for households to make an informed decision on whether to install a renewable system. This paper is intended to provide a guide to households considering renewable adoption by introducing relevant factors that influence renewable system performance and payback, summarized in a state lookup table for quick reference. Five states are chosen as case studies to perform economic optimizations based on net metering policy, utility rate structure, and average electric utility price; these states are selected to be representative of the possible combinations of factors to aid in the decision-making process for customers in all states. The results of this analysis highlight the dual importance of both state support for renewables and price signals, as the benefits of residential renewable systems are best realized in states with net metering policies facing the challenge of above-average electric utility rates.This dataset is intended to allow readers to reproduce and customize the analysis performed in this work to their benefit. Suggested modifications include: location, household load profile, rate tariff structure, and renewable energy system design.

The Utility Energy Registry (UER) is a database platform that provides streamlined public access to aggregated community-scale energy data. The UER is intended to promote and facilitate community-based energy planning and energy use awareness and engagement. On April 19, 2018, the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) issued the Order Adopting the Utility Energy Registry under regulatory CASE 17-M-0315, and updated the protocol in a modification order on August 12, 2021. The order requires utilities and CCA administrators under its regulation to develop and report community energy use data to the UER. This dataset includes electricity and natural gas usage data reported at the city, town, and village level. Other UER datasets include energy use data reported at the county and ZIP code level.

Data in the UER can be used for several important purposes such as planning community energy programs, developing community greenhouse gas emissions inventories, and relating how certain energy projects and policies may affect a particular community. It is important to note that the data are subject to privacy screening and fields that fail the privacy screen are withheld.
