Solar and wind energy will lead the growth in U.S. power generation for at least the next two years, according to EIA estimates. This report uses data from the EIA to analyze solar and...
• Renewables are becoming an increasingly large part of the U.S. electric generation mix, representing 33% of capacity and 24% of generation in 2024. – All non-carbon energy
Renewable sources—wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal—accounted for 22% of generation, or 874 billion kWh, last year. Annual renewable power generation surpassed nuclear
Globally, renewable power capacity is projected to increase almost 4 600 GW between 2025 and 2030 – double the deployment of the previous five years (2019-2024). Growth in utility-scale and distributed
The global shift toward solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power is crucial to climate mitigation, yet climate change may intensify extreme low-production (ELP) events and affect power...
Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal,
In October, wind and solar combined produced 16.78% of U.S. electricity generation. October also saw several states achieving remarkable growth in solar generation compared to the
For example, solar irradiance, sunshine hours, and temperature are relevant for photovoltaic power generation, while wind power density and wind speed for wind power generation.
Using data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, we analyze the performance of wind turbines and photovoltaic systems, revealing distinct patterns in energy production and
A new report from the non-profit research group, Climate Central, analyzing historical data on wind and solar energy in the US from 2014-2023 finds the amount of electricity produced from
