The article discusses the anticipated growth of solar and wind energy in the US, with the EIA forecasting record solar installations of 37 GW in 2024. Despite a slower growth in energy demand, the addition of over 20 GW of solar capacity each year for the next two years, along with new wind capacity, is expected to transform the grid. However, potential shifts in federal policy could create challenges, as new regulations may hinder renewable installations, while state mandates support renewable energy expansion.
We can expect next year's numbers to also show a large growth in solar production, as the EIA says that the US saw record levels of new solar installations in 2024.
