New solar plants expected to support most U.S. electric
In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we expect that U.S. renewable capacity additions—especially solar—will continue to drive the growth of U.S. power
America's Electricity Generation Capacity, Update
In , over 30,000 MW of solar capacity came online, which is a 30% increase in operating solar capacity. An additional 34,000 MW are under preparation, testing, or construction and
FERC: Solar + wind made up 91% of new US
Solar and wind accounted for 91% of new US electrical generating capacity added in the H1 , according to data just released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which was
US solar capacity slowed but not stopped by
U.S. President Donald Trump's scrapping of subsidies and tax breaks for renewable energy developers has stalled but not derailed solar power capacity growth across the United States.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration Needs
Wind and solar advocates claim that this huge increase in generating capacity demonstrates the ability of these resources to meet rising electricity demand being driven by economic growth, artificial
Anti-Solar Actions are Restricting Energy Supply; Right When the
In , solar added more new capacity to the U.S. grid than any energy technology in the past two decades. Solar has been the largest contributor of new generation
Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity
In , 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 , with 32.5 GW
