Summary
As a result of the continued economic recovery that occurred in the United States in 1985, electric utilities generated 2,469,841 gigawatthours of electricity, an increase of 2.2% from 1984. Over a 5-year period, total net generation averaged a 1.9% increase per year. Electricity generation from coal-fired units set an all-time record in 1985, producing 1,402,128 gigawatthours, accounting for the largest share of net generation among all fuels, 56.8%. For this same period, nuclear power for the second year in a row, was the second-most important fuel in the generation of electricity, 15.5% of total net generation. Generation from gas-fired units and hydroelectric power contributed 11.8% and 11.4%, respectively. Petroleum's share of net generation continued to decrease as it accounted for 4.1% of net generation in 1985. Net generation from other sources (wood, wind, waste, solar, and geothermal) accounted for 0.4% of total generation during 1985.
