This article lists the largest electricity generating stations in the United States in terms of installed electrical capacity. Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear, natural gas, oil shale, and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides, waves, and the wind.
Electricity generation, 2025 Total electricity generated in each country or region, measured in terawatt-hours.
Current Capacity The largest fuel source is natural gas, accounting for just under 43% of all generation capacity. Coal, with a share of 15%, represents the second largest source of generation capacity.
The analysis includes the 238 utilities that: (i) reported DR capability to EIA in 2022, (ii) reported peak demand of at least 100 MW, and (iii) are investor-owned, municipal, cooperative, state, or federal
