The US added nearly 26 GW of new power generation between January and August, according to FERC’s latest report. (Utility Dive)
Solar led the way with 19 GW installed so far this year, including major August additions like Hecate Energy’s 517-MW solar + storage project in Texas and Gibson Solar’s 280-MW site in Indiana. Wind followed with smaller but steady gains.
Looking ahead: FERC lists 136 GW of “high-probability” additions through 2028, 84% of which could come from renewables.
