A review by the Sun Day Campaign of data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that wind and solar together provided just over 20% of U.S. electricity during the first six months of 2025. In total, renewables accounted for nearly 28% of generation. Wind remained a central source of renewable power. Turbines generated 11.6% of U.S. electricity between January and June, a 2.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Output from wind was nearly twice that of hydropower and continues to play a key role in reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
