With several states adding “carbon free” generation to the technologies that are included in Renewable Portfolio Standards, it’s time to take a look at nuclear generation. In 2019, according to EIA, twelve states generated more than 30% of their electricity from nuclear power. Three states generated more than 50%. Illinois has the most nuclear reactors (11) and the most nuclear capacity (11.6 GW). Nuclear accounted for 54% of generation in the state.
