In 2019, the United States had a total electricity generation capacity equivalent to 1,100,546 MW—or 1.1 billion kilowatts (kW)—of total utility-scale electricity generating capacity and around 23 million kW of small-scale solar photovoltaic electricity generating capacity.

Natural gas was the largest source or type of energy used to generate electricity in the country.

The share of natural gas was 38% relative to total electricity generation capacity.

In MW:-

( 38 / 100 )* 1,100,546 = 418,207.48 MW.

In this exercise we will consider two coal-fired power plants and a solar thermal plant, in order to compare their power densities, i.e., their power output vs. the amount of land they occupy. This method of comparison of diverse forms of renewable and non-renewable energy systems was pioneered by Vaclav Smil of the University of Manitoba in Canada. The first coal plant is highly efficient and is optimally located, next to a mine that supplies high-quality coal from a thick...
