The Energy Information Administration has ranked America’s 50 states in the order of how much electricity produced in 2022 from renewable energy, breaking it down by wind and solar, hydropower and carbon-free (nuclear).

At the top of the list is Texas. The Lone Star State has led the nation in wind energy for several years, generating 136,118 gigawatt-hours (GWh) from wind and utility-scale solar in 2022.

California was second, with 52,927 GWh, mostly from utility-scale solar. Rounding out the top 10 were: Iowa (45,058 GWh), Oklahoma (37,500 GWh), Kansas (29,536 GWh), Illinois (24,685 GWh), Colorado (19,152 GWh), North Dakota (16,571 GWh), New Mexico (16,451 GWh) and Minnesota (16,328 GWh).

EIA’s charts focus on utility-scale generation, but even if it includes output from small-scale solar systems (principally rooftop solar systems), Texas would still lead the country. California captures the lead in small-scale solar, with 23,094 GWh—roughly seven times the amount Texas produces—but still falls behind Texas when the two categories are combined.

Other than California, these states relied almost exclusively on wind power. North Carolina and Florida, ranked 12th and 13th, respectively, relied predominantly on solar power to generate electricity, as did Nevada (20th), Arizona (21st), Georgia (23rd), Virginia (25th) and Utah (26th).

Texas is also the leader in electricity generated from hydropower, biomass and other renewable sources, with 138,538 GWh. Washington beat out California for second place, with 91,148 GWh from hydropower over the Golden State’s 89,473 GWh.

Charting all carbon-free electricity sources, including nuclear and other renewable sources, Texas is on top once again, with 180,145 GWh. Illinois comes in second with 124,055 GWh, with California slotting in third at 107,066 GWh. In 2022, the United States got 39.7% of its electricity from carbon-free renewable sources.

Texas leads the nation overall in clean electricity generation. But, because it also leads in generation from gas and coal, its output from wind and solar make up only 26% of its total output from all sources.

Eric Gimon, senior fellow at think tank Energy Innovation in San Francisco, ascribed Texas’ dominance to high winds and lots of sun. “Texas has the best combination of wind and solar resources in the U.S.,” he said.

Adding to that, Texas also has vast amounts of land that can be developed, and a regulatory system that welcomes renewable energy developers, despite the state’s historical ties to the fossil fuel industry, according to Gimon. That said, some of the biggest oil and gas companies in Texas have been investing in renewable energy, either to sell or to use to power their operations.

The bottom line, according to Doug Lewin, president of Austin consulting firm Stoic Energy, is that Texas—and all states—need to do more to attract solar and wind power investment and build more transmission lines to deliver that power.
