U.S. Renewable Energy Factsheet
In 2023, renewables surpassed coal in energy generation. 1 Wind and solar are the fastest growing renewable sources, but contribute less than 3% of total energy used in the U.S. 1 The
STORAGE FOR POWER SYSTEMS
Growing levels of wind and solar power increase the need for flexibility and grid services across different time scales in the power system. There are many sources of flexibility and grid
Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity
In 2025, we expect 7.7 GW of wind capacity to be added to the U.S. grid. Last year, only 5.1 GW was added, the smallest wind capacity addition since 2014. Texas, Wyoming, and
