Energy capacity data are from the California Energy Commission's Quarterly Fuel and Energy Report and the Wind Generation Reporting System databases. Map depicts utility scale power plants (with nameplate capacity of 1 MW or more). Hydroelectric plants are designated as a renewable energy source if their nameplate capacity is 30 MW or less. Renewables include Biomass, Geothermal, Solar Photovoltaic, Solar Thermal, Small Hydroelectric, and Wind. Counties without symbols had no utility-scale plants. Data is from 2022 and is current as of August 10, 2023. For more information, contact Gordon Huang at gordon.huang@energy.ca.gov or John Hingtgen at john.hingtgen@energy.ca.gov.
