Renewable Resources Account Energizes New Energy Projects

摘要

California has developed the largest and most diverse renewable generation industry in the world, with nearly 6600 megawatts (MW) of independently-owned and utility-owned renewable power capacity, including geothermal, solid-fuel biomass, wind, small hydro (30 MW or less), solar, landfill gas, digester gas, municipal solid waste (MSW) and waste tire facilities representing approximately 12 percent of the electricity used in California. Fig. 1 shows the relative capacities of these technologies in California.
