List of U.S. states by electricity production from renewable sources

The information used to calculate values is from the Electric Power Monthly, February 2015 and 2014 published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Renewable generation does not include amounts for rooftop solar; only utility scale generation from solar sources is included.

Sources of electricity for 2016.[1]

States by 2017 renewable electricity production

Shows the carbon intensity of electricity generation (gm CO2/kWh) for each state. Data used to calculate values is from EIA. Over the last several years the trend has been towards less CO2 emissions.
