However, the annual share of U.S. electricity generation from natural gas will fall from a 37 percent share in 2021 to 35 percent in both 2022 and 2023, said the report, while forecasting that the share from renewable energy sources to rise from 20 percent in 2021 to 22 percent in 2022...
In its July Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), EIA forecasts that natural gas prices will be about 36% higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year, which the agency expects will lead to a decrease in electricity generation from natural gas—the largest fuel ...

In contrast to growing generation from renewables, the EIA forecasts that coal power generation will decline 18% from 665 billion kWh in 2023 to 548 billion kWh in 2025. It forecasts natural gas will continue to be the largest source of US electricity generation, with a...
Is there a reliable source for how much rooftop solar electricity is generated? I realize that here you are discussing utility sources, but my solar panels in a grid tied system probably don’t register for my utility in the same way that the utility’s generation does. Thanks for putting ...
Weather was the primary driver of year-to-year fluctuations in electricity demand. About 87 percent of U.S. households cool their homes in the summer with air conditioning, and about 35 percent of homes use electricity as their primary heating source during the winter, said EIA, adding that ...
Look at the first chart, US Monthly Electricity Production, Percentage of Total by Source. If one compares December 2016, December 2016 and December 2017, the All-Renewables line hovers at 16% or so. It may well be that annual averages have crept up over the...
Electricity generation.We expect U.S. electric power sector generation to increase by 3% in 2024. The increase in generation is mostly to supply increased air-conditioning demand compared with last year, driven by hotter summer temperatures this year. The increase in consumption in 2024 is being ...
