Renewable energy sources — particularly solar and wind energy — now dominate new US power capacity installations. But they don't dominate electricity generation in the country. December 2021 Renewable Energy Generation In the month of
December 2021 Renewable Energy Generation
The good news is this is notably up from December 2019 and December 2020. In December 2019, those figures were 17.5% from renewable energy, 7.8% from wind energy, and 1.6% from solar energy. In December 2020, they had improved to 19.4%, 9.2%, and 2.2%, respectively. So, you can see that all of the new solar and wind power capacity does lead to noticeable increases in electricity generation from renewable sources.
Interestingly, hydropower also saw a jump in production in that timeframe. It grew from 6.3% in December 2019 and 6.2% in December 2020 to 7.5% in December 2021.It’s a similar story for the full year, but the numbers aren’t quite as good as in December — which is perhaps just a sign that the story keeps getting better month to month, or is simply due to variations in the seasons and winter being a big month for wind power.
