Electricity generation by fuel, by state

Updated Oct 9, 2026
EIA data to July 2026 · fetched Oct 9, 2026 · checked twice a month
In the 12 months to July 2026 Texas generated 605,575 GWh of electricity, more than any other state. 47.8% came from natural gas, 22.1% from wind, 11.8% from utility-scale solar, 11.0% from coal and 6.6% from nuclear. For the U.S. as a whole: gas 40.7%, wind 10.7%, solar 7.5%, coal 15.5%, nuclear 17.7%. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), net generation of the total electric power industry. Shares are our calculation from the published numbers; solar is utility-scale only (rooftop and other small-scale solar are not included), and the shares do not add up to 100% because other fuels are not shown. The latest months can be revised. Source: TexasHomeBills™ — https://texashomebills.com/data/us-electricity-generation

Net generation in the 12 months August 2025 – July 2026, GWh, and each fuel’s share of it. Sorted by total generation. — means EIA reports fewer than 12 months for that state and fuel; 0.0% means EIA reports none. Shares do not add up to 100% (other fuels and storage are not shown). Solar is utility-scale only.

Method

The numbers are the EIA’s net generation of the total electric power industry (utility-scale generators, including combined heat and power), by state and fuel, from the EIA’s Electric Power Monthly data. We add up the latest 12 months and divide each fuel by the state’s total. We compare with the 12 months ending five years earlier. Generation is not the same as the electricity used in a state: states import and export electricity.

Solar here is utility-scale solar only. The EIA estimates small-scale solar (for example on rooftops) separately; we do not include it, so total solar is higher than shown, most in states with a lot of rooftop solar.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Texas electricity come from?

In the 12 months to July 2026, 47.8% of Texas generation came from natural gas, 22.1% from wind, 11.8% from utility-scale solar, 11.0% from coal and 6.6% from nuclear (EIA net generation).

Does the fuel mix set my electricity price?

Not directly, and we do not claim it does. This page shows what the EIA reports. Your bill depends on your plan’s energy price, your utility’s delivery charges and your usage. See the plans for your utility to compare.
