Record-breaking year ahead for US power generation with

Solar power is expected to provide more than half of the new electricity capacity added in 2025. Developers have already installed 12 GW in the first half of the year, with another 21 GW

America''s Electricity Generation Capacity, 2025 Update

A majority of all new generation capacity under development is for solar energy (55%), followed by wind (26%) and natural gas (11%). However, over two-thirds of the wind capacity is in the proposed stage,

US added nearly 50 GW of new solar generating capacity in 2024

New interconnection applications have slowed, but an estimated 93 GW of solar and 139 GW of storage capacity sought grid connection in 2024.

Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions

In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW of new utility

Renewables account for 99% of new electricity connected to U.S. grid

Year-to-date, solar accounted for 80.6% of all new generation placed into service. Solar has now been the largest source of new generating capacity for eight months straight: September

Solar and battery storage to make up 81% of new U.S. electric

We expect a record addition of utility-scale solar in 2024 if the scheduled 36.4 GW are added to the grid. This growth would almost double last year''s 18.4 GW increase, which was itself a record for annual
