4 FAQs about Solar power storage expansion

Will solar power and battery storage lead new generating capacity additions in 2025?

Solar power and battery storage are expected to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions in 2025, according to the Energy Information Organization (EIA). The EIA expects 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. grid in 2025.

Are solar-plus-storage facilities expanding in the US power plant market?

A report from Berkeley Lab reveals a significant expansion of solar-plus-storage facilities in the U.S. power plant market, highlighting an evolution from frequency to arbitrage and curtailment mitigation markets.

How many GW of solar & battery storage will be added in 2024?

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.

Will solar power and battery storage contribute to new transmission networks?

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. renewable energy industry at present, solar power and battery storage are expected to contribute a large proportion of the additions to the U.S. grid this year. Wind power will also play a major role in new transmission network additions.
