The cumulative installed capacity of energy storage in the United States exceeded 20GW and reached 21.6GW. Among them, 18 energy storage projects are supporting the construction of photovoltaic or wind power facilities, and the other 15 are independent energy storage.
As of December 2025, there are 809 planned wind projects in development in the US, according to Cleanview's project tracker. Their total planned capacity is 213,243 MW. Of these, 116 planned wind projects are expected to come online within the next 12 months. Click any of the links below to jump to a specific section:
As of June 30, the United States has more than 14GW of onshore wind power projects under construction, an increase of 5.5GW from the same period in 2023. Currently, the United States is building more than 4GW of offshore wind power, which is also the highest level to date, and the construction volume is expected to increase further soon.
According to data from ACP and Wood Mackenzie, in the first quarter of 2024, the installed capacity of utility-scale energy storage in the United States increased by 84%. In the second quarter of 2024, US developers put into operation 33 energy storage projects in 10 states with an installed capacity of 2.9GW.
