U.S. Clean Power by the Numbers in 2025:听听

• Over 90%听of New听Power:听Utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage accounted for听91% of all new听power capacity connected to the U.S. grid, delivering over听50听gigawatts of new supply 鈥� enough to power听roughly 7听million homes.听听听听

• $150 Billion听Economic Driver:听The U.S. clean power industry contributed听over听$150 billion听to the U.S. economy听in 2025.听

This could be enough wind and solar capacity to power as many as 10.5 million homes, but the buildout coming to fruition hinges on the resolution of federal permitting challenges that are currently obstructing projects from progressing through the process.听听听

• States听Are听Stepping听Up:听Texas will be the first state to reach 100 GW of clean power capacity, but other states are also seeing accelerated growth.听Oklahoma, Iowa, Florida, Illinois, and Arizona each have enough pipeline capacity to surpass 15 GW operational over the coming year.听

• Battery听Storage Hits Its Stride:听The technology ended 2025 with 45 GW / 126 GWh of capacity in operation, and forecasts expect new battery storage capacity to听push听operational capacity over 50 GW听this year.听听
• Offshore听Wind听Delivering:听Despite听unlawful听federal pushback,听offshore wind projects have already begun delivering power to the grid in 2026. A听third听of projects听are听close to听completion,听and two more听are听advancing听through construction milestones.听听
