Renewable Energy Production and Use by State in 2025

Renewable energy is gaining traction across the United States but not all states are onboard.

By Lyle Daly – Updated Oct 1, 2025 at 12:53 PM

Key Points

Iowa uses the highest percentage of renewable energy, with 63% of its energy consumption coming from renewables.
Kentucky uses the lowest percentage of renewable energy, with less than 2% of its energy consumption coming from renewables.
Texas produces the most renewable energy (measured in megawatt-hours) of any state.

Renewables are on the rise -- for now

The U.S. as a whole is getting more of its energy from renewable sources. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 has helped with this, as it provides $369 billion for clean energy investments.

However, the Trump administration has been working to undo the IRA and end federal support for renewable energy projects. The administration froze funds related to climate initiatives earlier this year, although a judge later ordered that the funds be unfrozen. President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which was signed into law on July 4, 2025, terminates tax credits that have helped grow the renewable energy industry.

On a positive note, renewable energy numbers have been steadily increasing over the years. The current political landscape could impact that growth, but quite a few states have set their own clean energy goals, so the hope is that the production of renewable energy will continue to rise going forward.
