Just like any major economy in the world, the US power sector is a volatile yet crucial industry that's responsible for the production and distribution of energy to residential, commercial, and industrial entities.
Moreover, the US energy sector is not limited to a single resource. There are several companies that leverage natural resources, manmade resources, or a combination of both to generate energy.
In this blog, we'll take a look at the US power sector, the major players involved, historical data, the top US energy stocks, and how to invest in US power sector stocks for as low as $1 using Cube.
The US power sector broadly includes the production, supply, and sales of electricity within the US to individual households and companies. The US also exports power to other countries like Canada and Mexico.
The US is the second-largest producer and consumer of electricity behind China and ahead of India. It has an energy/power generating capacity of approximately 1.12 billion kilowatts (kW).
US energy companies primarily used these resources to generate power in 2020:

The US power sector is volatile because it is exposed to several factors that can deplete or completely bring electricity production to a standstill. Some of these factors include:
The Texas Power Crisis of 2021 is an example of how power grids can be affected by natural disasters.
However, the US power sector remains pivotal to the daily functioning of practically every other industry in the US.
Furthermore, it is home to legacy companies like Baltimore Gas and Electric (owned by Exelon Corporation) that have survived for over 2 centuries.
