#Renewables provided almost 30% of #US #electrical generation in March and are now second-largest source of US electricity behind natural gas with 40.5% share during Q1 #2024 but fell to 39.4% in March.
Small-scale #solar grew 20.4% while #utilityscale #solarhermal and #photovoltaic expanded by 28.4% – faster than any other energy source.
Generation by solar and #wind combined (17.1%) surpassed coal (15.2%) during Q1 and nearly doubled coal in March alone (20.8% vs 11.6%)
