  Data shows that in May, coal-fired power generation accounted for 15.3% of the total power generation in the United States, an increase of 0.5% from April, but still lower than the proportion of renewable energy power generation.

Among them, hydroelectric power generation was 29.5 billion kWh, an increase of 41.9% month-on-month, but fell 2% year-on-year, accounting for 9.7% of total power generation; solar power generation was 9.7 billion kWh, an increase of 33.6% and 21.6% respectively on the same month-on-month basis. Accounted for 3.2%; wind power generation was 28.2 billion kWh, an increase of 6.4% year-on-year, and a month-on-month decrease of 4.6%, accounting for 9.3%.

   In May, US natural gas power generation was 116 billion kWh, an increase of 7.5% month-on-month and a slight increase of 0.7% year-on-year. Natural gas power generation accounted for 38.3% of the total US power generation that month, slightly lower than 39.3% in April.
