This year has been a benchmark for renewables generation, with the latest edition of the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Electric Power Monthly report showing clean power facilities produced more electricity through May 31 than coal and nuclear.
A breakout year for renewables was highlighted by the figures for May, when clean energy resources reached an all-time high share of the country’s electricity generation, at 25.3%. That figure, as with much of the renewables generation this year, was driven by hydroelectric, which accounted for almost 17% of the electricity generated that month.
However, while hydro has had a consistent hold on the top spot for renewables generation, that grip is loosening by the month. The amount of solar energy generated from January to May, compared to the same period of last year and including distributed solar, is up roughly 21%, with PV now accounting for 3.3% of the nation’s total power generation.
