# EIA Renewable Share of US Electricity Generation by Grid Region

> EIA Renewable Share of US Electricity Generation by Grid Region is a paid API for AI agents from api.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the renewable share (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal) of US electricity generation as a percentage of the latest hourly total, broken down by grid region, sourced from the EIA grid monitor.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability eia-renewable-share-of-us-electricity-generation-by-grid-region-fd5d36ca
```

Example prompt: What percentage of electricity generation in Texas is currently coming from renewables like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal, according to the EIA grid monitor?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time renewable energy share data for US grid regions from an authoritative government source (EIA). Ideal for sustainability dashboards, carbon-aware compute scheduling, energy research, or any agent task requiring current clean energy penetration by US grid region. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable percentage data with regional granularity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid region enum value returns a validation error
- EIA data temporarily unavailable causes upstream timeout or error
- Stale data if EIA grid monitor feed is delayed
- Missing or malformed query parameters may return the default US national aggregate instead of intended region

## How this service works

Renewable share of US electricity generation from the EIA grid monitor: solar, wind, hydro and geothermal as a percentage of the latest hourly generation total, by grid region. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration.

## Output

Returns the renewable share as a percentage of the latest hourly electricity generation total for the specified US grid region, broken down by renewable source type (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal), sourced from EIA real-time grid data.
