WV Energy Production
• West Virginia ranked fifth among the states in total energy production in
2011, producing 4.9% of the nation's total (TX, WY, PA, LA, WV).
In 2012, West Virginia was the largest coal producer east of the Mississippi
River and the second largest in the nation after Wyoming; the state
accounted for 12% of the U.S. total coal production that year.
In 2012, 45% (54 million short tons) of the coal that was mined in West
Virginia was shipped to other states, and 40% (47 million short tons) was
exported to foreign countries.
• Coal-fired electric power plants accounted for 95% of West Virginia's net
electricity generation in 2013, and renewable energy resources-primarily
hydroelectric power and wind energy-contributed 4.1%.
• West Virginia typically generates more electricity than it consumes; in
2010, 56% of its net electricity generation was consumed outside the
state.
