Solar and wind lead US capacity growth as renewables expand beyond a third of total generation
- Category: Industry News
A review of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) data by the Sun Day Campaign shows that solar and wind continue to drive the growth of US generating capacity in 2025. In the first nine months of the year, utility-scale solar accounted for over three-quarters of new capacity, with September alone seeing 98% of additions from solar. Year-to-date, wind added more capacity than natural gas, while the combined growth of all renewables represents nearly 89% of new capacity.
