Southeast Electricity Generation by Source, 1997 and 2006

A fact sheet from the World Resources Institute detailing fossil fuel and non-fossil energy consumption trends in the Southeast between 1997 and 2006.

• Between 1997 and 2006, total fossil fuel consumption in the Southeast grew by approximately 14 percent, which was significantly higher than the national average growth rate of 5 percent.
• Fossil fuel consumption in the Southeast grew faster than regional non-fossil energy sources, which included nuclear, hydroelectric, wood/waste, solar, wind, and geothermal sources and grew by less than 1 percent.
• The rise in total fossil fuel consumption was mainly driven by increased use of natural gas for electricity generation and petroleum within the transportation sector.
