Geothermal Energy = 52% of New Electricity Generation Capacity in February (CleanTechnica)

Geothermal energy delivered the second most new megawatts in February - over half of new generation

Continuing a trend, renewable energy sources dominated new electricity generation capacity additions in the United States in February 2015.

If you just looked at the utility-scale side of the equation, renewables still would have accounted for >94% of new electricity generation capacity, with geothermal accounting for 52%, wind 24%, and solar 18%. Natural gas just added 5 megawatts of capacity in February according to FERC.

The geothermal contribution came from Ormat’s 45 MW McGinnis Hills Geothermal Phase 4 expansion Project in Lander County, Nevada.

Looking at all installed electricity generation capacity on the grid at the end of February, renewables = 17.5%, with 8.5% of that coming from hydropower, 5.6% from wind, 1.6% from solar, 1.4% from biomass, 0.3% from geothermal, and 0.1% from waste heat.
