Solar rises, hydro declines among renewable generation sources across the US

摘要

Hydro generation is trending down across the nation in July, while solar generation continues to rise, according to grid operator data. While the West is known for strong renewable generation, with the California Independent System Operator averaging 40% of the fuel mix coming from renewables year to date and the Bonneville Power Authority averaging 86%, wind generation in Texas has significantly jumped year on year. At an average of 249,193 MWh per day in June, ERCOT had the most renewables output across the US, according to the latest available ERCOT data.
