The United States imports a small percentage of its electricity. Around 2-3% of the electricity consumed in the U.S. is imported, mainly from Canada and Mexico. This imported electricity comes through power lines and is typically used in regions close to the borders, especially in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest. Most of the electricity in the U.S. is generated domestically from various sources like natural gas, coal, nuclear, and renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro).
