Renewables Provide More Than 30% of US Electricity
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Renewables generated 30.3% of US electrical output in the first five months of 2026, up from 28.2% a year earlier, with solar and wind combined providing 22.2% of total domestic generation and outproducing coal by 57% and nuclear by 26%.
Fossil fuel capacity still dominates overall energy infrastructure; this represents electricity generation share, not total energy consumption.
