Wikipedia has figures for electrical generation ie input to the grid, rather than output from the grid, but it's the same apart from transmission losses. For 2006, the latest given, it is a total of 4.063 billion megawatthours. Since there are 8760 hours in a year, this gives the average power output as 578,000 MWe. This compares to a total nameplate rating for all the plants in the country of 1,075,171 MWe.

What else can I help you with?
Frequency of AC?
In Europe and in northern Japan 50 hz is used. The US has a 60hz system for its' power grid.
What is a TRIODE and what are its uses?
A triode is a vacuum-tube (US) aka valve(UK) with three electrodes : an anode, a cathode and a grid. The cathode is heated electrically which boils off a cloud of electrons. The anode is made positive ( typ. 100-500V) which attracts the electrons towards it. The grid is an open structure, usually of thin wires, placed between the anode and cathode, but nearer the cathode. If a negative voltage is applied to the grid the current flow through the tube is reduced. The more negative, the less current. Prior to the development of transistors, tubes were used for all things in radio,TV and electronics. Different tubes had different numbers of electrodes; the triode was particularly suited to high power amplifiers, especially at radio frequencies. Triodes are still used today by shortwave radio stations, and for RF heating equipment.
In 1882 Edison provided the first 59 customers in the world with electricity but by what year were most homes in the US tied up to the power grid?
Here's an idea of how the changeover went...In 1907, only 8 percent of American homes had electricity, but by 1925, more than half of them did. 90 percent of urban families had electricity by 1930...but there was still some resentment of the "new" utilities reflected in vaudeville even then, and vaudeville was still alive.
What is the importance of ripple factor?
Ripple factor ripple factor is very important in deciding the efficiency of the rectifier .ripple factor give the total power converted AC input to the DC output. Ideal ripple factor should be zero and power factor 1. Ripple factor of half wave rectifier 1.21 and full wave rectifier is 0.48.
What is the total kWh of electricity generated in US?
4 159 514 Giga watt Hours annually (X1000 = MWH x1000 again =KWH) or 475GWH aveage daily output Interestingly if you wanted to generate this amount of power using solar thermal power stations at todays prices, it would cost $4.75 Trillion dollars! This sounds like an awful lot until you look at the Iraq War which has so far cost $3 trillion. So if the budget for Iraq had been invested in Solar, there would be at least 63% of US electricity coming from the sun, but probably more with economies of scale and technological improvements.
Is the national grid In UK the same as us?
No. The two run at completely different voltages.
How is hydro-power distributed to consumers?
Power is distributed through what is called the grid. The grid is a system of transmissions lines that all major power sources are connected to. This allows us to send power throughout the USA. The downside is that this grid is terribly power hungry. It consumes tons of power that we could save if power was generated locally.
What voltage is the Thailand national grid on?
220v ac UK and Europeans will need an adapter, but otherwise ok. US will need a converter.
Why is the national grid important to us?
The national grid is essential because it ensures the reliable transmission of electricity from power generation sources to homes and businesses across the country. It facilitates the balancing of supply and demand, enabling efficient energy distribution and minimizing outages. Additionally, the national grid supports the integration of renewable energy sources, promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Overall, it plays a crucial role in maintaining economic stability and enhancing quality of life.
Can an amplifier imported from US be used in Australia?
yes it can be used because power grid frequency is same
Frequency of AC?
In Europe and in northern Japan 50 hz is used. The US has a 60hz system for its' power grid.
Where is the ABS power relay output circuit?
That depends on vehicle. You haven't told us what it is.
Does the us sells power to mexico?
You mean electric power? Yes; it goes both ways. The US sells power to Mexico and also purchases power from Mexico. One example is the San Diego-Tijuana power grid, which is shared among both countries and is part of the larger Southwest grid, serving the US states of California and Arizona, as well as the Mexican states of Baja California and Sonora. All four states were impacted during the "2011 Southwest Blackout"
Unit of power used mainly in the US?
This depends on the situation. The main power unit used for electric power output is generally the Watt (W), while the main power unit used for mechanical power output is often the horsepower (hp).
What is the source of the national governments delegated power?
