Utility-scale solar will lead the way, accounting for over half of the new capacity, followed by battery storage at 29%, marking a significant rise in battery deployment. Wind energy will contribute 12%, supported by major offshore projects like Vineyard Wind 1 and. . Developers added 12 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale solar electric generating capacity in the United States during the first half of 2025, and they plan to add another 21 GW in the second half of the year, according to our latest survey of electric generating capacity changes. If those plans. . According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the country is set to add a record 63 GW of new power plant capacity in 2025—93% of which will come from carbon-free sources. This surge in clean energy comes amid growing electricity demand driven by AI data centers and domestic. . The rise of “electrotech” – solar, wind, batteries and electrified transport, heating and industry – became the dominant engine of global energy growth, led by China's emergence as the world's first electrostate. As AI and data centre demand grew, clean power and strong grids became the new.
