Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compiled and synthesized empirical data on the U.S. utility-scale solar sector.
Solar and wind to lead growth of U.S. power generation for the next
As a result of new solar projects coming on line this year, we forecast that U.S. solar power generation will grow 75% from 163 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2023 to 286 billion kWh in 2025.
Solar power generation drives electricity generation growth over the
Electricity generation by the U.S. electric power sector totaled about 4,260 billion kilowatthours (BkWh) in 2025. In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we expect U.S.
