The United States installed a record-breaking 50 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity in 2024, the largest single year of new capacity added to the grid by any energy
The United States needs to add 206.5 GW of new energy capacity by 2030, with solar expected to supply 73% of those capacity additions. Without solar and storage, America
Most of this growth will come from solar power and energy storage, showing strong momentum for clean energy, even as fossil fuels remain part of the mix. Solar Shines Brightest Solar energy is growing
The installation of utility-scale storage in the United States has primarily been concentrated in California and Texas due to supportive state policies and significant solar and
Installed solar capacity in the U.S. now totals about 220 GW, enough to provide over 7% of the nation’s electricity. This continues a decade-long trend of rapid growth in solar power. Battery storage nearly doubled in 2024, with total installed capacity reaching almost 29 GW — and projected to grow another 47% in 2025.
As of 2023, there is approximately 8.8 GW of operational utility-scale battery storage in the United States. The installation of utility-scale storage in the United States has primarily been concentrated in California and Texas due to supportive state policies and significant solar and wind capacity that the storage resources will support.
Energy storage systems, mostly large batteries, are important because they help store solar and wind power for use when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. In 2025, over 31 GW of new storage capacity is expected to be built. California and Texas are the leaders in battery storage.
California and Texas are the leaders in battery storage. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) is set to add about 6 GW of storage next year, while Texas plans to add nearly 12 GW. Storage growth is important because it makes renewable energy more reliable. Batteries can help keep the grid stable and reduce blackouts.
Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. Solar. 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.
Major growth in solar and batteries. PJM (Mid-Atlantic and Midwest): 7 GW of new projects, mostly solar. About 3 GW of fossil fuel plants will retire. CAISO (California): 10 GW of new capacity, including 6 GW of storage. MISO (Midwest): 11 GW of new capacity, mostly solar.
