Solar power and battery storage are expected to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions in 2025, according to the Energy Information Organization (EIA). The EIA expects 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. grid in 2025.
Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. Solar. 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 of new utility-scale solar capacity to be added. Texas (11.6 GW) and California (2.9 GW) will account for almost half of the new utility-scale solar capacity addition in 2025.
EIA expects 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage capacity installations in 2025. This would represent roughly 70% growth from the 26 GW of cumulative capacity installed through 2024 and adds to the 66% growth last year. Roughly half of U.S. grid-scale storage is in California.
