, sorted by type and name. In 2020, Utah had a total summer capacity of 9,263 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 37,087 GWh. The corresponding electrical energy generation mix in 2021 was 61.8% coal, 24.7% natural gas, 8.1% solar, 1.9% wind, 1.8% hydroelectric, 0.8% geothermal, and 0.2% biomass. Waste heat recovered from industrial operations and oil (0.4%) generated the remainder. Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 654 GWh to Utah's electricity grid in 2021. This compares as less than one-fifth the amount generated by Utah's utility-scale PV plants. Coal previously generated 81% of Utah's electricity in 2013 and has been undergoing a gradual replacement with natural gas and renewables.
