NRDC presents its 2020 Annual Energy Report, for 2019 and part of 2020, highlighting both the progress made and challenges to face in transitioning to a carbon-free economy.

There was good, mixed, and bad news for the U.S. energy sector in 2019 - though the events of 2020 and the unexpected shifts in the energy world amid a deadly pandemic and global recession have largely overshadowed the final energy outcomes of the previous year. 

Read the report to explore data and trends including:

• Emissions reduction targets
• Renewable portfolio standards (%) and clean electricity targets
• 2019 EV sales by state
• Number of EV charging stations per 100,000 people by state
• Oil Production by state
• Gas plants by year in service and size of unit (MW)
• Coal retirements by year and planned year, and size of unit (MW)
