In 2021, Texas produced more energy than any other state, accounting for almost 12 percent of the nation's total net energy generation.

California stands out as the state with the most power outages between 2002 and 2022. This state had a total of 94 outages, 28 more than second-place holder, Florida. The likelihood of an outage is much higher in California than in any other state.
