, sorted by type and name. In 2020, New Hampshire had a total summer capacity of 4,478 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 16,351 GWh. The corresponding electrical energy generation mix in 2021 was 56.5% nuclear, 25.6% natural gas, 6.7% hydroelectric, 5.9% biomass, 2.9% wind, 1.6% coal, 0.4% petroleum, and 0.3% non-biogenic waste. During 2019, New Hampshire had two of the three coal power plants, and one of two nuclear power plants operating in New England. More electricity was generated than was consumed in-state. Renewables sources generated 17% of all electrical energy from New Hampshire. Wind generated more electricity than coal for the first time in 2016, while the state did not yet host a utility-scale (larger than 1 MW)
