According to the latest "Energy Infrastructure Update" report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Office of Energy Projects , solar, biomass, wind, geothermal, and hydropower units provided 394 MWe - or 100% - of all new electrical generation placed in-service in November 2013. There was no new capacity during the month from natural gas, coal, oil, or nuclear power. Renewable energy sources also provided 99% of all new electrical generating capacity in October.
For the first eleven months of 2013, renewable energy sources have accounted for more than a third (34.9%) of all new electrical generating capacity: 2,631-MW solar, 1,108 MWe wind, 519 MWe biomass, 121 MWe hydropower, and 39 MWe geothermal. Geothermal steam now accounts for 0.33% of total installed U.S. operating generating capacity.
