Which US state produces 13 times as much energy as it uses, making it the 2nd biggest net US supplier (2022)?

The US state of Wyoming produces 13 times more energy than it consumes, and it is the 2nd-biggest net US energy supplier among the states, after the state of Texas.

Wyoming has additionally been the top coal-producing state since 1986, accounting for about two-fifths of all coal mined in the United States in 2020.

Wyoming’s large energy-producing US sector and small population help the state to have the highest per capita energy consumption and the second-most energy-intensive state economy, after the state of Louisiana.

Wyoming is honored to routinely serve as one of the six US states to account for over half of the primary energy produced in the country since 2019. The top six primary energy-producing states—Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and North Dakota—accounted for 55 quadrillion British thermal units (quads), or 55% of all of the primary energy produced in the United States. In 2000, these six states had accounted for 39% of the nation’s primary energy production, indicating that primary energy production has become more concentrated to the top producing states.
