Clean energy record: More than 40% of US electricity now comes from carbon-free sources
12:01 am EST Mar. 1, 2023
Power*from zero-carbon sources made up a full 41% of the US electricity mix in 2022, a record-breaking number that has increased almost every year since 1990.
That mix includes power from nuclear plants,*hydroelectric dams, solar and wind. With nuclear and hydro power relatively unchanged for years at about 19% and 10% respectively, the majority of the increase has come from the rapid build-out of solar and wind power, whose costs have plummeted in the past two decades.*
