us electricity generation by oil 2025
AI Overview
Petroleum (oil) accounted for a very small portion of U.S. electricity generation in 2025, estimated at approximately 0.7% of the total utility-scale mix. While total U.S. electricity generation hit a record high in 2025, oil remains a minor source, primarily used for peaking power or in isolated regions rather than baseload power.
Key details regarding 2025 U.S. power generation:
- Minor Source: Petroleum's role is minimal, with
this report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) listing it at around 0.7% of total generation.
- Total Generation Record: Total U.S. electricity net generation reached a record high in 2025, growing 2.8% over 2024, driven by rising demand.
- Fossil Fuel Mix: While coal and gas remain the dominant fossil fuels, overall fossil generation has faced competition from surging renewable energy (wind and solar).
Note: The
EIA data on electricity generation by energy source confirms petroleum (total) made up less than 1% of the total generation.
