Solar and BESS to comprise 81% of new US generation capacity by 2024
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts a remarkable surge in utility-scale power generation capacity for 2024, with an astounding 62.8 gigawatts (GW) set to be added to the grid. What’s particularly striking is that a substantial 81 percent of this new capacity will be comprised of solar panels and battery storage, signaling a monumental shift towards renewable energy sources. According to the EIA’s Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report, a record-breaking 36.4 GW of utility-scale solar capacity is slated to come online this year. This figure represents nearly double the solar capacity added in 2023, emphasizing the accelerating pace of solar adoption. Notably, more than half of this solar capacity will be concentrated in just three states: Texas, California, and Florida, with Texas leading the charge at 35 percent.
