In 2024, the United States witnessed a substantial surge in clean energy installations, setting a new record as developers added 48.2 GW of utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage capacity. This growth was underpinned by tax credits provided under the Inflation Reduction Act and the declining costs of renewable technologies. Looking ahead to 2025, the momentum in renewables is expected to continue, albeit at a slower pace, with projections indicating a potential addition of 60 GW of large-scale clean power capacity. However, concerns have been raised following a recent decision by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that could prioritize new natural gas power plants over renewable sources like solar and wind in grid connections, especially as the U.S. anticipates a significant increase in electricity demand. The sustainable energy landscape in the U.S. is further evidenced by various projects that are underway. In New York, Equinor's offshore wind farm, Empire Wind 1, received approval for transmission facilities to power over 388,000 homes. In California, White Pine Renewables secured financing to support two solar parks generating electricity for local water districts. Additionally, the installation of a hydrogen microgrid by Harnyss at Guidiville Indian Rancheria in California exemplifies innovation in combining long-duration energy storage with on-site hydrogen production. Moreover, the commissioning of Invenergy's 300 MW solar PV plant in Texas signifies the continued transition towards sustainable power generation across different regions in the U.S.
