54% of CA’s electricity is renewable or emits no greenhouse gases, compared to 40% for the US

Split bar chart of energy sources for California vs. the U.S.
CA data from 2022; US from 2023. Electricity includes utility-scale generation and excludes behind-the-meter sources such as rooftop solar. The generation source of some imported CA electricity is unknown, so compare numbers in specific categories with caution.
A previous version of this chart incorrectly displayed data on total US energy use rather than just electricity generation. We apologize for the error.
