4 FAQs about Coming Solar Power Generation

Will solar power and wind power grow in 2027?

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 290 BkWh in 2025 to 424 BkWh by 2027.

Why is solar power important in emerging economies?

Dynamics in the world's largest emerging economies will play a crucial role. China and India are both moving towards a future of demand growth powered by clean electricity, helping to tip the balance towards a decline in fossil generation at a global level. Solar power has become the engine of the global energy transition.

Will solar power grow in 2025?

We expect that solar electricity generation supplied to the grid managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) will grow from 56 BkWh in 2025 to 106 BkWh by 2027. Increasing amounts of battery storage capacity help to support the fluctuations in solar output during the day.

Is solar power the fastest growing source of electricity?

Compared to other sources of power, “the rise in solar generation is the fastest in the history of electricity,” says Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research at Goldman Sachs Research.

Solar power generation drives electricity generation growth over

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
