It is quite a challenge to pin down an electricity system that has grown 10.8 percent annually over
the last decade, doubled power generation in just 7 years and added 80-90 gigawatts (GW) – the
equivalent of the United Kingdom’s entire generating capacity –every year. [1]

last year’s surge in electricity demand was driven by anuptick in heavy industry-led growth. Crude
steel production grew 7.5 percent compared to 3.1 percent in 2012, while the automobile production
sector grew 18.4 percent, almost three times faster than in 2012. As over 70 percent of electricity
production in China goes to satisfy industry demands. [1]

The wind sector is likely to keep going strong in 2014, as an additional 56 GW of wind has already
been permitted according to government statistics (read here for a provincial breakdown), and
analysts expect 14 GW of solar will be added to China’s power system in 2014. [1]

In terms of total capacity on the grid, thermal dipped below 70 percent (see table, figure).
 Installed Capacity (2013)

Thermal* 862 69%

Hydro 280 23%

Nuclear 14 1%

Wind 75 6%

Solar 13 1%

Total 1244

Source: NEA. *Thermal includes ~7% of non-coal capacity (e.g., natural gas, biomass, etc.). These
numbers may be slightly revised when CEC publishes its annual outlook. [1]

China, the country that is building more nuclear reactors than any other, continued to get more electricity from
the wind than from nuclear power plants in 2014. The electricity generated by China’s wind farms in 2014—16
percent more than the year before—could power more than 110 million Chinese homes.
 China added a world record 23 gigawatts of new wind power capacity in 2014, for a cumulative installed
capacity of nearly 115 gigawatts (1 gigawatt = 1,000 megawatts).

In 2014, the United States generated about 4,093 billion kilowatthours of electricity.1 About 67% of the
electricity generated was from fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum). [1]

Major energy sources and percent share of total U.S. electricity generation in 2014:

 Coal = 39%
 Natural gas = 27%
 Nuclear = 19%
 Hydropower = 6%
 Other renewables = 7%
 Biomass = 1.7%
 Geothermal = 0.4%
 Solar = 0.4%
 Wind = 4.4%
 Petroleum = 1%
 Other gases < 1%

Monthly Energy Review: Electricity

Last updated: March 31, 2015 [1]

The United States’ wind power capacity reached more than 65.8 gigawatts by the end of
2014.That’s enough electricity to power more than 17.5 million homes annually Wind prices for
power contracts signed in 2014 and levelized wind prices (the price the utility pays to buy power
from a wind farm) are as low as 2.35 cents per kilowatt-hour in some areas of the country. [2]

There are 511 coal-powered electric plants in the U.S. They have generated 34 percent of the nation’s
electricity this year. There are 1,740 natural gas-powered electric plants in the U.S. They have
generated 30 percent of the nation’s electricity this year.

Iceland’s renewable energy sources are not only abundant, relative to the size of the nation as a
whole, but they are also available at a comparatively low cost. For this reason electricity prices in
Iceland are much lower than in most other OECD countries.

Hydropower has increased rapidly since the late sixties by the establishment of aluminium
industry in Iceland. The use of coal decreased to almost nothing around the middle of the
last century due to the replacement by oil and subsequently geothermal for house-
heating.

The presence of energy-intensive industries, abundant natural resources that make

electricity production affordable, and high demand caused by the region’s long, cold, and
dark winters.
