About this ranking
Net electricity generated from natural gas at utility-scale plants (1 megawatt or more) in the year, in terawatt hours, as reported to the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Form EIA-923. Other gases, such as blast furnace and refinery gas, are not included.
United States and its states only.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
