1 big thing: Texas is everything
Texas passed California as the state with the most power-generating capacity from big solar projects, ACP data shows.
A new ACP analysis finds that energy storage slashes costs and boosts reliability in Texas, saving $750M in summer 2024 while avoiding conservation notices during record energy demand.
In the strongest third quarter on record, U.S. developers added over 10 GW of new utility-scale clean power capacity in Q3 2024, surpassing last year’s record third quarter by 78%. The U.S. now has 294 GW of clean power capacity online—enough energy to power 72 million American homes.
The Solar Market Monitor is a biannual analysis of the U.S. utility-scale solar industry, produced by S&P Global Commodity Insights. The new report includes projections of a record-breaking year for solar, with over 32 GW of installations for 2024.
