How much electricity does your county make?
Every country, every US state, every county — generation, fuel mix, per-capita. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, tap a country for its power profile; tap any US state to drill straight into its counties, then its power plants. Gray means no reported data — never an estimate.
567 TWh
Texas generated 567 TWh in 2024 — more than Germany's 500 TWh (2025)

States and countries share one color scale. Country values: Ember Yearly Electricity Data, 2025 (compiled). US state values: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Annual 2024 (measured, utility-scale generation). Gray regions reported no data; none is estimated.
Choropleth of annual electricity generation: 18 countries (2025), 51 US states (2024), and 31 Chinese provinces (2022) share one color scale; the United States and China are drawn as their subdivisions, so their country totals never appear as polygons. Counties (2025) and individual power plants drill down from each state. Electricity is not all energy — it is less than one-fifth of the energy humanity uses. U.S. totals differ by scope and vintage and do not reconcile: Ember reports 4,519.8 TWh for the USA in 2025; the EIA state figures sum to 4,308.8 TWh for 2024 (see F-map-4).
Ember 2025 · EIA through June 2026 · n/a = no data reported · Method
- China generates more electricity than the next six countries combined.
- China's 2025 generation (10,578 TWh) exceeds the combined output of the United States, India, Russia, Japan, Brazil, and Canada (10,227 TWh).
- Texas alone would rank 10th in the world — ahead of Germany, Iran, and the United Kingdom.
- Texas generated 567 TWh in 2024 — more than the United Kingdom and Italy combined (557 TWh), and more than 11 of the 20 biggest electricity-producing countries individually.
- Three countries make almost two-thirds of the top-20 total.
- China, the United States, and India together account for 67% of generation across the top 20 countries — the other 17 split the remaining 33%.
- Wyoming generates 69,384 kWh per resident — the most of any state.
- That is 5.5x the national average of 12,672 kWh per person. Per-capita here is generation divided by residents — it measures where power is made, not where it is used (see F-map-3).
How to read this map
Color shows each region's total annual electricity generation, from Ember's Yearly Electricity Data (2026-09-21 vintage, CC BY 4.0) for countries and the China Electricity Council's China Electric Power Statistical Yearbook 2024 for Chinese provinces. 18 of thetop 20 countries by 2025 generation are colored — the United States and China are drawn as their states and provinces instead; every other country is gray because reported data is not available in this release — the map never fills gaps with estimates (see F-map-2). Chinese provinces show 2022 generation, the latest provincial fuel split published.
Select a country or a Chinese province to see its total generation, its fuel mix as shares of generation, and its per-capita generation (countries only). Fuel bands follow the same seven-band definition as the rest of the site: Coal, Gas, Nuclear, Hydro, Wind, Solar, and Other (bioenergy, other renewables, other fossil — which includes oil-fired generation in this Ember release). Chinese provinces report a five-band mix — Hydro, Thermal, Wind, Solar, Other — because the yearbook bundles coal, gas, oil and biomass into one thermal figure and never splits it; no coal/gas split is invented.
All country figures are tagged compiled: reported national statistics as aggregated by Ember — authoritative, but subject to reporting lags and revisions.
Drill-down: US states, counties, plants. US states are drawn directly on the world map — tap any state to open its panel and drill into its counties. State detail is 2024 generation (50 states + District of Columbia) from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's Electric Power Annual 2024 — public-domain, metered generation reported by plant operators, tagged measured. Per-capita figures use U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 population estimates. Note the year differs from the country view (2025): 2024 is the latest complete year the EIA has published. State panels lead with real monthly figures from the EIA's Electric Power Monthly, through June 2026. Tapping a county shows its 2025 fuel mix, its monthly generation, and its individual power plants — real reported plants (EIA-923) as map markers and in a list, each with 2025 generation, capacity, operator, and a monthly sparkline. Escape or the breadcrumb takes you back up.

Coal — 70.8% of generation
F-map-1 — State figures are 2024 (the latest complete year the EIA has published); country figures are 2025. Comparisons that mix the two are labeled with both years.
F-map-2 — 18 of the top 20 countries by 2025 generation are colored; the United States and China are drawn as their states and provinces instead, so their country totals never appear as polygons. All other countries are gray — reported data is not available in this release, and none is estimated.
F-map-3 — Per-capita generation is electricity generated divided by residents — a measure of where power is made, not where it is used.
F-map-4 — U.S. totals differ by scope and vintage and do not reconcile: Ember reports 4,519.8 TWh for the USA in 2025 (compiled, includes estimates for distributed and off-grid generation); the EIA state figures sum to 4,308.8 TWh for 2024 (measured, utility-scale net generation). Chinese province figures are 2022 (China Electricity Council, measured) — the latest provincial fuel split published: the 31 provinces sum to 8,848.9 TWh, which is not comparable to Ember's 2025 national figure of 10,577.7 TWh (compiled) — different year, different source.
