Total Annual Net Electricity Generation (mWh) by State
Annual net electricity generation by state (1990-2024) shows long-run growth and decline in power production across the U.S. These structural shifts are a leading indicator of future price trends and grid reliability.
Key Insights
U.S. electricity generation has become increasingly concentrated among a small group of states since 1990. Texas has expanded output far faster than any other state, producing more than twice as much electricity as the second-largest producer in 2024. While other top states have grown steadily, none have matched Texas's long-term scale or growth rate.
