of power is generated with renewable energy (primarily with hydro from Eklutna and Bradley Lakes).
support MEA diversifying to more clean energy sources while maintaining reliability.
Renewables made up more than 17 percent of net U.S. electricity generation in 2018, with the bulk coming from hydropower (7.0 percent) and wind power (6.6 percent)
Solar generation (including distributed) is projected to climb from 11 percent of total U.S. renewable genreation in 2017 to 48 percent by 2050, making it the fastest-growing electricity source.
Globally, renewables made up 24 percent of electricity generation in 2016, much of it from hydropower (16 percent)

MEA has reduced carbon emissions (metric tons of CO2e/mWh) by 28% since 2012. This reduction is primarily attributed to the construction and utilization of MEA’s highly efficient Eklutna Generation Station (EGS) power plant. EGS is one of the most efficient thermal generation power plants in the Railbelt, which reduces MEA’s overall consumption of fossil fuels.
