Hello alp9839,
I suppose you found the figures I gave useful since you did not reply,
so I decided to complete the rest of the data and post the answer.
What I gave were the following for United States statistics:
Electric Net Generation by Utilities (2001E): 2,661 billion
kilowatthours
Non-utility Power Production (2001E): 1,116 billion kilowatthours
Total Electricity Generation (2001E): 3,779 billion kilowatthours
From:
EIA United States Country analysis brief
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/usa.html
Percentage:
Utility - 70.42%
Non-utility - 29.58%
OTHER U.S. INFORMATION SOURCES

This paper quotes the editor of Home Power magazine, Richard Perez, as
saying the about 180,000 US homes are not connected to a utility grid:

WORLD STATISTICS
According to the first source listed below, the whole world generated
15684.15 terawatt hours of electricity in 2001. Now I assume that
renewable energy is off-grid and Solarbuzz says the renewable sources
cover 13% of the world energy demand. So far, these general figures
are easy to find, but you can find other pertinent data on the global
electricity market share in Solar Buzz and other links below.
