Hydroelectric and Renewable Power Generationin USA
USA Market Research and Industry Report
18 September 2007
Industry Code : 22111c
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating hydroelectric and renewable powered electric power generation facilities. Renewable energy sources comprise: wood and wood waste, black liquor, biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, biomass and other agriculture byproducts, geothermal, solar and wind. Firms in this industry may also produce small amounts of electricity using other power sources, including: non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur and used tires. While water and wind are used to directly power turbines that generate electricity, other facilities typically utilize their fuel to generate steam, which is then used to power turbines and generate electric power. The establishments in this industry produce electric energy and provide electricity to transmission systems or to electric power distribution systems.
