We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48.6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest.
BloombergNEF expects additions to grow 35% this year, setting a record for annual additions, at 94 gigawatts (247 gigawatt-hours), excluding pumped hydro. The bumper year will be followed by a compound annual growth rate of 14.7% through to 2035, with annual additions reaching 220 gigawatts/972.
The US added a record 49GW of new solar capacity in 2024, as renewable power contributed to more than 1,000TWh of the country’s total electricity generation for the first time in a calendar year. This is one of the main takeaways from the ‘Sustainable Energy in America 2025 Factbook’, the latest.
The US energy storage market just posted its strongest Q1 ever, adding more than 2 gigawatts (GW) of capacity across all segments, according to the latest US Energy Storage Monitor from Wood Mackenzie and the American Clean Power Association (ACP). That makes Q1 2025 the biggest first quarter for.
Solar was the only primary source of generation that recorded capacity growth, which jumped 88% to 18.6 gigawatts (GW). As a result, in 2024, solar surpassed hydropower and nuclear as the fourth-largest source of installed capacity, after wind. 3 By the end of 2024, the US Energy Information.
