Key Findings
• The installed global renewable electricity capacity nearly doubled between 2000 and
2011, although renewable energy is a relatively small portion o total energy supply bothglobally and in the United States.
• Renewable electricity represented nearly 13% o total installed capacity and more than
12% o total electric generation in the United States in 2011 . Installed renewable electricity
capacity is more than 146 gigawatts (GW).
• In 2011 in the United States, wind and solar photovoltaics (PV) were two o the astest
growing electric generation technologies. In 2011, cumulative installed wind capacity
increased by nearly 17% and cumulative installed solar photovoltaic capacity grew more
than 86% rom the previous year.

Key Findings, continued
• Worldwide, wind energy is one o the astest growing renewable electricity technologies—
between 2000 and 2011, wind electricity generation worldwide increased by a actor o13. The United States experienced even more dramatic growth, as installed wind electricity
capacity increased by a actor o 18 between 2000 and 2011.
• In the United States, renewable electricity has been capturing a growing percentage o new
capacity additions during the past ew years. In 2011, renewable electricity accounted or
more than 35% o all new electrical capacity installations in the United States—a large
change rom 2004 when all renewable electricity captured only 2% o new capacity additions
• Since 2006, the United States has been the world’s leading ethanol producer. Between 2000
and 2011, U.S. production o corn ethanol increased by a actor o 8 . The use o ethanol in
gasoline blends in the United States has tripled since 2005.

Renewable Electricity in the United States | Revised February17
Renewable Electricity in the United States: Summary
• Since 2000, renewable electricity installations in the United States have more than
tripled, and in 2011 represent 146 GW o installed U.S. capacity.
• Installed renewable electricity capacity has grown at a compounded annual average
o nearly 4.2% per year rom 2000–2011.
• U.S. renewable electricity in 2011 is 12.8% o total overall installed electricity capacity
and 12.8 % o total annual generation in the United States.
• Wind and solar photovoltaics are the astest growing renewable electricity sectors.
In 2011 in the United States, wind installed capacity increased by nearly 17% and
solar photovoltaic installed capacity grew more than 86% rom the previous year.

Renewable Electricity in the United States: Summary, continued
• In 2011 in the United States, biomass produced about 11% o total renewable
electricity generation, wind produced 23%, solar (photovoltaics and
concentrating solar power) produced 1%, hydropower produced 62%, and
geothermal produced 3%.
• Wind energy accounted or about 75% o newly installed U.S. renewable
electricity capacity in 2011.
• Electricity generation rom biomass, geothermal, and hydropower have remained
relatively stable since 2000.

Renewable Electricity in the United States | Revised February29
State Renewable Energy Inormation: Summary
• In 2011, Washington had the most installed renewable electric capacity
o any U.S. state (23,970 MW).
• In 2008, Texas became the national leader in wind power development,
and in 2011 has more than 10 GW o wind capacity installed.
• Caliornia installed 921 MW o wind and 538 MW o solar capacity in 2011,
the most o any state.
• A combination o state incentives and renewable portolio standards or
renewable electricity and renewable resource development has driven renewable
growth in many states. Some wind development was driven by economics in
select locations

• Cumulative global renewable electricity installed capacity has grown by 72% rom
2000–2011 (rom 748 GW to 1,285 GW).
• Renewable energy accounts or 22% o all global electricity generation (4,309 TWh).
• Wind and solar energy are the astest growing renewable electricity technologies
worldwide. Wind generation grew by a actor o 13 and solar photovoltaic generation
grew by a actor o more than 51 between 2000 and 2011.
• In 2011, Germany led the world in cumulative solar photovoltaic installed capacity.
The United States leads the world in geothermal and biomass installed capacity.
China leads in wind, and Spain leads in solar thermal electric generation (STEG).

• Solar electricity generation has grown by a actor o more than 9 between 2000 and
2011, but still represents a very small part o overall U.S. electricity generation (0.2%).
• Countries with extensive solar policies—such as Germany, Spain, Japan, and Italy—
lead the world in solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment. Similarly, U.S. states with
extensive solar incentives lead the United States in both cumulative and annual
installations in 2011 (Caliornia, New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico).
• U.S. manuacturers currently have a small share o the world PV market. Asian—particularly Chinese—manuacturers lead the market with nearly 77% o the
global photovoltaic cell production.
• A number o concentrating solar power (CSP) plants came online in 2011, including
11.7 MW in the United States.

• U.S. geothermal electricity generation has remained relatively stable rom
2000 to 2011, with the past 11 years experiencing an average o 1.2% growthin annual capacity installed.
• The United States leads the world in installed geothermal electricity
capacity and generation, with most o that power installed in Caliornia.
• As a base-load source o energy, geothermal is distinct rom other renewables
such as wind and solar, because it can provide consistent electricity.

testing stages and permits being fled at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
• No commercial wave or tidal plants came online in 2011, although two tidal power projects
received licenses rom FERC in early 2012: one being developed by Ocean Renewable Power
Company in Cobscook Bay Maine, and one by Verdant Power in the East River o New York Ci

* Most U.S. ethanol is currently produced rom corn (in contrast to Brazil’s ethanolcoming rom sugar cane); but eorts are underway by the U.S. Department o Energy
and others to commercialize cellulosic ethanol, which is produced rom non-ood crops.Note: Ethanol is blended with gasoline and generally comprises up to 10% o theuel with gasoline as the other 90% (E10). Additionally, ex-uel vehicles can usea blend o 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline (E85).

sugar cane, continues to expand rapidly in the United States. Between 2000 and
2011, production increased more than 8 times.
• U.S. ethanol production grew nearly 5% in 2011 over 2010 to reach almost 14,000
million gallons per year.
• In 2011, the United States* produced 62.2% o the world’s ethanol, ollowed by
Brazil at 24.9%, the European Union at 5.4%, China at 2.5%, and Canada at 2.1%.

Biodiesel has expanded rom a relatively small production base in 2000, to a total
United States production o 1 billion gallons in 2011. However, biodiesel is still a
small percentage o the alternative uel pool in the U.S., as 13 times more ethanolwas produced in 2011.
• Biodiesel production in the United States in 2011 is 214 times what it was in 2001.
• The United States leads the world in biodiesel production, ollowed by Germany,Argentina, Brazil, and France.
• Worldwide, biodiesel production globally grew more than 12% rom 2010 to 2011.

alternative and petroleum-based uels.
Fuel Cell
A device that produces electricity by
converting the chemical energy o a uel

within the cell but are supplied rom
outside. It does not contain an intermediate
heat cycle, as do most other electrical
generation techniques.

electricity generation, and then is injected
back into the earth.
Geothermal Heat Pump
A heat pump in which the rerigerant
exchanges heat (in a heat exchanger)
with a uid circulating through an earth
connection medium (ground or ground
water). The uid is contained in a variety
o loop (pipe) congurations depending
on the temperature o the ground and
the ground area available. Loops may be
installed horizontally or vertically in the
ground or submersed in a body o water.

virtually inexhaustible in duration but
limited in the amount o energy that is
available per unit o time. Renewable
energy resources include: biomass, hydro,
geothermal, solar, wind, and ocean energy.
