The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that, in 2024, the United States added a record 30 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale solar to the grid, accounting for 61%
now boasts a contribution of 313 GW of clean energy connected to the grid. More than 33 GW of solar capacity was deployed in 2024, as was over 11 GW of energy
To better understand the dynamics of interconnection, and what solutions may be available, we compiled and analyzed two unique datasets for the first time, in “ Grid connection
New interconnection applications have slowed, but an estimated 93 GW of solar and 139 GW of storage capacity sought grid
In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW
Rooftop solar panels, backup batteries, and emergency diesel generators are examples of DER. While traditional generators are connected to the high-voltage transmission grid, DER are
