Sources of North Carolina utility-scale electricity generation:
full-year 2021 [1]

  Natural Gas (35.9%)
  Nuclear (32.8%)
  Coal (15.5%)
  Solar (7.6%)
  Hydroelectric (5.8%)
  Biomass (1.6%)
  Wind (0.4%)
  Petroleum (0.4%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of North Carolina, sorted by type and name. In 2020, North Carolina had a total summer capacity of 35,141 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 124,363 GWh. [2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 32.0% nuclear, 31.4% natural gas, 23.4% coal, 5.7% solar, 4.7% hydroelectric, 2.3% biomass, 0.4% wind, and 0.1% petroleum. [1]

As in other states, electricity generation by coal in North Carolina has been shifting to natural gas and renewables. Gas has nearly equaled the generation by nuclear since 2016. The state was also a top-ten state in the nation for production of nuclear energy. [3]

By the end of 2020 North Carolina had the third-highest solar generation and installed capacity in the nation at 5,260 megawatts, surpassed only by California and Texas. Solar generation exceeded hydroelectricity in 2017. [3] Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 451 GWh of energy to the state's electrical grid. This was 22 times less than the amount generated by North Carolina's utility-scale photovoltaic plants. [1]
