Top Ten U.S. States for Renewable Energy Installed Capacity

With almost 133 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power, the U.S. currently has the largest installed capacity for non-hydroelectric sources in the world, followed by Germany. In 2035, the energy capacity of non-hydropower renewables in the U.S. is expected to double, according to EIA estimates. Here, we take a look at the top ten states for renewable energy capacity to see what sources are the most popular in the United States, and which are up-and-coming. 1. Washington Washington is the number one state for renewable energy, with a total installed capacity of 23.884 gigawatts (GW). Hydropower provides more than two-thirds of the state’s overall capacity and consumption while wind is becoming an increasingly important contributor to the grid, with 7.5 percent of the overall capacity. 2. California With 16.460 GW of capacity, it’s not suprising that California has one of the lar...
