Solar power and battery storage are expected to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions in 2025, according to the Energy Information Organization (EIA). The EIA expects 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. grid in 2025.
Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. Solar. In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. renewable energy industry at present, solar power and battery storage are expected to contribute a large proportion of the additions to the U.S. grid this year. Wind power will also play a major role in new transmission network additions.
By July 2024, there was over 20.7 GW of battery energy storage in the U.S. Battery storage helps to balance supply and demand and improve grid stability. It is expected to play a leading role in the future of the world's energy as the U.S. and other countries worldwide increase their renewable energy capacity.
In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as we expect 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage to be added to the grid. U.S. battery storage already achieved record growth in 2024
