    New Energy Taking Over

    Solar And Wind Provided 93.8% Of New U.S. Generating Capacity In First Third Of 2021; Wind + Solar Are 15% Of Total U.S. Generating Capacity

    Ken Bossong, June 7, 2021 (SUN DAY Campaign)

    “…[Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) data shows] wind and solar resources provided nearly all (93.84%) of the new electrical generating capacity added in the U.S. during the first four months of 2021…Utility-scale renewable energy facilities collectively now account for 24.77% of the nation’s total available installed generating capacity and continue to expand…The generating capacity of just wind is now more than a tenth (10.24%) of the nation's total while wind and solar combined account for 14.96%...[not including] distributed (e.g., rooftop) solar…

    FERC found that renewables’ share of generating capacity is on track to be 28.83% of installed capacity by April 2024, with wind and solar 19.33%] of the nation's installed generating capacity…[Coal’s share] is expected to drop to 16.55% (from 19.28% today), nuclear's to 7.63% (from 8.21%), and oil's to 2.75% (from 3.14%). Natural gas' share will also decline to 44.06%, compared to 44.42% now…” click here for more
