This was about 20 percent more than the generation by Vermont's utility-scale photovoltaic plants. [1] Vermont's 99.9% share of electricity from renewable sources was the highest in the United States during 2019. Vermont had the second lowest population after Wyoming, and total electricity consumption was the lowest among all 50 states.
In May 2009, Vermont created the first statewide renewable energy feed-in law. [10] In 2010, there were about 150 methane digesters in the nation, Vermont led the nation with six online. [11] The state has 78 hydro power dams with a combined capacity of 143 MW, about 12 percent of the state's total requirement. [12]
By the end of 2005, annual energy usage in Vermont had been reduced by 98,000 megawatt-hours [4] In 2007 Vermont became the first state in the nation to turn electrical load growth negative [5] Between 2009 and 2011, estimated energy savings produced by Efficiency Vermont were 304,000 megawatt-hours [6]
This is a list of U.S. states by total electricity generation, percent of generation that is renewable, total renewable generation, percent of total domestic renewable generation, [1] and carbon intensity in 2022. [2] The largest renewable electricity source was wind, which has exceeded hydro since 2019. [3]
Among the water and wastewater services of a city, wastewater treatment is usually the most energy intense process. [2]Wastewater treatment plants are designed with the purpose of treating the influent sewage to a set quality before discharging it back into a water body, without real concern for the energy consumption of the treating units of a plant.
Combined, they generate more than 736 million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy on-site each year, enough to power more than 61,000 average U.S. homes. [132] Selected state renewable portfolio standards with 2018 revisions. 29 states have adopted policies targeting a percentage of their energy to come from renewable sources.
Of all the state-based RPS programs in place today, no two are the same. Each has been designed taking into account state-specific policy objectives (e.g. economic growth, diversity of energy supply, environmental concerns), local resource endowment, political considerations, and the capacity to expand renewable energy production.
In January 2002, Green Mountain began serving the Texas market and was the first to offer alternative energy in the state. [3] In August 2009 Green Mountain Energy expanded to New York City, serving those in the Con Edison service territory. [4] In November 2010 Green Mountain Energy was acquired by NRG Energy for $350 million. [1]
