How Alabama made electricity from 2001 to 2023

In 2001, coal fueled more than half of the electricity produced in Alabama, but many of the state’s aging coal power plants have closed since then or shifted to burning cheaper natural gas. By 2014, gas had become the top electricity source in the state, followed by nuclear. And, last year, coal fueled just 14 percent of the state’s electricity generation.Hydro has long been Alabama’s largest source of renewable power. The state produced less than 1 percent of its power from solar energy last year.Alabama generates more electricity than it consumes and typically sends about one-third of its output to nearby states.
