Fascinating new EIA data
South Dakota produced 110% of its electricity demand with just Wind-Water-Solar for the full year Oct 1 '23-Sep 30 '24
77.5% Wind 30.1% Water 2.2% Solar
Also produced 16.8% gas, 11.7% coal
So SD produced 138% of demand, exporting 38%

Exporting. You didn’t even need to click. Just read, it’s in the description.
I got your reference, for what it’s worth
110% means 10% more than what they consume. Hope this helps.
