Active capacity in U.S. interconnection queues increased nearly eight-fold over the last decade, and is now more than twice the total installed capacity of the existing U.S. power plant fleet.
Almost 1,000 gigawatts (GW) of solar projects are waiting for connection across Europe and the United States (which is close to four times the amount of new solar capacity installed globally
Developers added 12 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale solar electric generating capacity in the United States during the first half of 2025, and they plan to add another 21 GW in the
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 32.5 GW of new utility
• At the end of 2024, solar was the second-largest source of U.S. generation capacity, though still a growing percentage of the U.S. electric generation mix. • In 2024, solar represented
