Renewable energy sources, including hydro, wind, biomass, geothermal, and solar, are abundant and geographically diverse in the United States and are used to generate electricity, provide thermal energy, power industrial processes, and produce transportation fuels. Deployment of renewable energy technologies has grown rapidly in recent years as their costs have fallen significantly and as the nation seeks to meet growing demand, diversify its energy supply, promote energy security, and reduce carbon emissions.
Renewable electricity generation has grown 62 percent since 2001 and accounted for 12.7 percent of total U.S. electricity generation in 2011. Additionally, 12,956 megawatts of renewable energy capacity was installed in 2012, representing 49.1 percent of all new electricity generation capacity in the United States. The briefing provided an overview of renewable energy technologies, domestic and international deployment trends, and exciting market and economic conditions.
