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]
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.
A renewable portfolio standard (RPS) is a regulation that requires the increased production of energy from renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal. Other common names for the same concept include Renewable Electricity Standard ( RES ) at the United States federal level and Renewables Obligation in the UK .
If renewable energy is to be developed to its full potential, America will need coordinated, sustained federal and state policies that expand renewable energy markets; promote and deploy new technology; and provide appropriate opportunities to encourage renewable energy use in all critical energy market sectors: wholesale and distributed ...

Oct. 28—Earlier this week, when Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul announced the largest state investment in renewable energy in U.S. history, solar power figured into the plan. The conditional awards ...
Renewable energy in developing countries is an increasingly used alternative to fossil fuel energy, as these countries scale up their energy supplies and address energy poverty. Renewable energy technology was once seen as unaffordable for developing countries. [ 202 ]
If passed, it would become the most restrictive law limiting wind power development in the United States and would remove about 90% of Arizona's land from consideration for this renewable energy ...
