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
In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as we expect 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage to be added to the grid. U.S. battery storage already achieved record growth in 2024
California and New York led Q2 CCI storage installations, accounting for over 70% of total capacity, while Illinois gained traction. Community storage deployment remained limited due to
Construction crews are building this technology combination across America at record levels – solar-plus-storage composed 84% of new U.S. grid capacity installed in 2024, adding 37...
Solar, wind, and batteries are set to supply virtually all net new US generating capacity in 2026, according to the latest EIA data.
While natural gas, coal, and nuclear power remain dominant, their combined share of generation is expected to decline as renewable energy expands. Utility-scale solar is the fastest
2025 has been a challenging year for renewables. The new tax law, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, rolled back many clean energy tax credits and imposed new restrictions,
The landscape of energy in the United States is undergoing a significant transformation, with solar power and energy storage poised for remarkable growth by 2025.
Energy storage boosts electric grid reliability and lowers costs, 47 as storage technologies become more efficient and economically viable. One study found that the economic value of energy storage in the
