Positronium generation in the interaction of electrons with matter is considered. The energy and angular characteristics of the produced para- and orthopositronium are calculated. The positronium yield in the para and ortho states attainable with existing electron accelerators (circular and linear) is estimated. It is shown that electron accelerators are the sources of quite intense and well shaped positronium beams.
