Power Plant Fuel Types, Emissions & Pollution Factors

Ohio's top fuel consumed for electricity generation is Natural Gas. They produce 68,083,370.13 megawatt hours, or 51.39% of the total production in the state, from this fuel type. Coal and Nuclear have the second and third highest total usage, respectively, for electricity generation. Coal makes up 41,221,078.3 megawatt hours (31.11%) of electricity production and Nuclear accounts for 16,331,485 megawatt hours (12.33%) of total production in the state. The state has the 20th highest amount of power plants of any state in the US, with 169 plants. This is the 45th most plants per person in the United States. Ohio emits 6,268.86 kilograms of CO2 emissions from electricity consumption per capita, which makes it the 13th highest polluting state in the nation based on emissions per capita. While not as telling of a statistic, the total pollution for the state of Ohio from electricity use is 73,847,220,162.4 kilograms of CO2 emissions, which ranks as the 3rd highest in the country.

Ohio Net Metering

Of the 167 electric providers in Ohio, 20.36% of them report that they offer net metering. Regulations put in place at the state level are restricted for consumers interested in installing solar or other alternative electricity generation sources.

Energy Loss

There are 35 electricity companies in Ohio that reported energy loss, including AEP Ohio, Ohio Edison, and Duke Energy Ohio. Together, these 35 companies average an annual energy loss of 2.87% of electricity generated. The US average is 2.45%, resulting in Ohio having a rank of 17th best in the country for energy loss efficiency.

Solar Taxes And Rebates

When it comes to stimulating personal solar, tax and rebate incentives from the government are some of the easiest methods. Ohio currently does not offer a state tax credit for solar panel installation at a private residence. There are currently no state sponsored rebates available to consumers who are purchasing solar panels. Unfortunately, residents in the state are only offered some optional tax exemptions for what they spend on solar panel installation. There is currently a 100% sales tax exemption in place for the purchase of solar.

State Level Initiatives

Whether a consumer is able to easily purchase electricity options with renewable fuel types is at least partially determined by statewide initiatives. Many states require renewable fuel types to make up a portion of the fuel used for electricity generation by providers in the state. These stipulations are referred to as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). Sadly, Ohio only has limited or optional standards plan in place. Additionally, there are currently no low income solar programs to assist low income families to install solar panels.

Learn about going solar in Ohio, find out which system size is best for you, compare local installers and see which incentives are available in your area.
