iSelect conducted research into renewable energy trends across the U.S., highlighting how Virginia’s performance compares with national progress.
The most up-to-date data shows Virginia’s total renewable energy share increased from 6.62% in 2020 to 11.38% in 2024, a rise of 4.76 percentage points. This means that just over 11% of Virginia’s electricity generation came from renewable energy sources like solar, hydroelectric, wind, and biomass.
The growth was driven primarily by strong gains in solar generation (+5.48 pts). Wood-derived fuels also increased slightly (+0.25 pts), and wind saw a small uptick (+0.05 pts). These gains were partially offset by declines in hydroelectric (-0.75 pts) and other biomass (-0.27 pts).
