We expect the combined share of generation from solar power and wind power to rise from about 18% in 2025 to about 21% in 2027. In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity generation in the United States, increasing from. . The three main dispatchable sources of electricity generation (natural gas, coal, and nuclear) accounted for 75% of total generation in 2025, but we expect the share of generation from these sources will fall to about 72% in 2027. Solar accounted for 56% of all new electricity-generating capacity added to the US grid in the first half of 2025, with a total of 18 GW. . To claim that 2025 in the United States has been one for the history books may be the understatement of the year. In the clean energy space, the Trump administration. . In 2024, between 554 GWdc and 602 GWdc of PV were added globally, bringing the cumulative installed capacity to 2. China continued to dominate the global market, representing ~60% of 2024 installs, up 52% y/y. The IEA reported Pakistan's rapid rise to. .
