This is a list of electricity-generatingpower stations in the U.S. state of New York, sorted by type and name. A more complete list can be found on the NYISO website in the planning data and reference docs section where an annual report call the Load and Capacity Data Report, or the "Gold Book" is listed. The list is located in Table III-2 of the report.[2][3]
In 2022, New York had a total summer capacity of 39,689 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 125,185 GWh.[4] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 47.7% natural gas, 22.1% nuclear, 21.9% hydroelectric, 3.9% wind, 2% solar, 1.3% biomass, 0.3% petroleum, and 0.8% other. Small-scale solar including customer-owned photovoltaic panels delivered an additional net 3,973 GWh to New York's electricity grid in 2023. This was about 60 percent more than the amount generated by the state's utility-scale photovoltaic plants.[1]
