Frequently Asked Questions

How concentrated is U.S. petroleum generation?
The top three states produce 52% of reported U.S. petroleum generation in 2025. Statewide totals are generation location, not the electricity a state consumes after interstate transfers.
Which state generates the most petroleum energy?
Hawaii leads with 7.0M MWh (2025), 63.4% of that state's own electricity mix.
What does petroleum operating capacity mean here?
The 2026-05 EIA inventory reports 24.5K MW of net summer capacity across 714 plants in the categories used on this page. Capacity is not converted into generation on this page.
Where does RateWatt's petroleum data come from?
Generation comes from EIA State Electricity Profiles (2025). Operating-plant capacity comes from the separate EIA operating-generator inventory (May 2026). Neither series is a retail-rate or customer-delivery measure.

Reading the petroleum numbers

Fuel concentration at the state level is not the same as the electricity a state consumes after interstate transfers.

Generation mix is not the same as the electricity a state consumes; surplus is traded across the grid. See our methodology.

Where these figures come from

Generation and capacity are separate EIA series with separate vintages; neither is a retail-rate or customer-delivery measure.

Generation: U.S. Energy Information Administration (2025) · operating capacity inventory: 2026-05.
All federal data sources used on this page

Generation totals on this page come from EIA State Electricity Profiles for 2025; operating-plant capacity comes from the separate EIA operating-generator inventory (May 2026). No figure is typed in by an editor. State shares are generation_mwh for this source ÷ state total generation in the same profile year. Plant rows sum only units whose EIA energy-source/technology labels match this profile's allowlist. See our editorial standards & corrections policy, the methodology behind these numbers, or report a data error. Data current as of 2025.
