The United States in the first quarter of new renewable energy power generation capacity of 927 mw

According to the federal energy regulatory commission recently issued "the new energy infrastructure report" shows, in the first quarter of 2015 with the new power generation capacity of 1229 mw, the new wind power, solar power, geothermal power generation and water power generation a total of 75.43% of the new total installed capacity.In addition, natural gas power generation increased by 302 mw.

In the first quarter of the new renewable solar mounting systems, wind power to a total of 8 units of 647 mw as first, accounting for 52.64% of the total installed capacity of new;Solar power, for a total of 30 new units of new power capacity of 214 mw;Geothermal power generation and hydropower is the new units, 45 mw and 21 mw respectively.In addition, gas power generation of new 5 units.

In addition, the report did not mention to the first quarter of biomass, coal and electricity, fuel power generation and nuclear power has a new power.
In the first quarter of 2014, renewable energy, including biomass energy, geothermal, hydro, solar and wind energy) of new installed capacity of 1422 mw, adds new power generating 159 mw gas power generation, fuel power generation 1 mw of new power, coal power and nuclear power is not new.
Before, renewable energy power generation capacity is 16.92% of the total installed capacity of, including pv mounting 8.53%;Wind power by 5.65%;Biomass by 1.38%;Solar power by 1.03%;Geothermal power generation by 0.33%.In addition, nuclear power and fuel power generation accounts for 9.11% of total electricity and 9.11% respectively.Renewable energy power generation capacity has gone far beyond the total and nuclear power and fuel power generation.In addition, the solar power capacity proportion in the total installed capacity is above one percent.
It is important to note that how much capacity does not with the actual capacity.Per MW renewable energy to produce electricity is less than fossil energy and nuclear power, as renewable energy conversion rate is low.According to the data provided by the U.S. energy information administration, according to a December 2014 net renewable energy power generation accounts for only 13.2% of the total generating capacity.However, this figure does not represent a real capacity of renewable energy, because renewable energy distributed generation (such as a rooftop photovoltaics) is not in statistical scope.

Over the past few years, the growth trend of renewable energy special significant, especially the largest rise in wind power and solar power.Compared with coal, fuel power generation and nuclear power installed capacity than a declining trend.
