Current power plants map from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In 2023, US generation scale installed electricity generation summer capacity [6] in the United States was 1161.43 gigawatts (GW), up 15.57 GW from 2021. The main energy sources for electricity generation include Thermal/Fossil: 733.2 GW up 1.38 GW (+0.02%) from 2021
Map of all utility-scale power plants. This article lists the largest electricity generating stations in the United States in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear, natural gas, oil shale, and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat ...
US natural gas production, imports, and exports Natural gas production by field. Dry natural gas was 36% of production in 2021, making it the largest source of energy in the US. [22] It is also the largest electricity source, making up 38% of generation. [14] Natural gas surpassed coal for production in 2011 and for generation in 2016.

Pacific Gas and Electric opened the US' first commercial geothermal power plant at The Geysers in California in September 1960, initially producing eleven megawatts of net power. The Geysers system grew into the world's largest, with an output of 750 MW. [3] It exploits the largest dry steam field, 116 km (72 mi) north of San Francisco. [4]
Geothermal power stations in the United States are located exclusively within the Western United States where geothermal energy potential is highest. The highest concentrations are located in the Mayacamas Mountains and Imperial Valley of California , as well as in Western Nevada .
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. data-center power demand could nearly triple in the next three years, and consume as much as 12% of the country's electricity, as the industry undergoes an artificial ...
Using thermal energy storage systems, solar thermal operating periods can even be extended to meet base-load needs. [ 60 ] A 2013 study by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory concluded that utility-scale solar power plants directly disturb an average of 2.7 to 2.9 acres per gigawatt-hour/year, and use from 3.5 to 3.8 acres per gW-hr ...
