California leads as the top solar state. With over 54 GW of solar installed, enough energy to power over 15 million homes. Texas has the fastest growing solar economy with the largest utility-scale solar and
A total of 252 distributed solar policy actions were taken during Q2 2025, with the most actions taken in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Minnesota, New York, and New Jersey.
Year-end wrap-up Following 35% growth, solar has passed hydro on US grid Coal makes a bit of a comeback, if only by accident.
This is a list of U.S. states by total electricity generation, percent of generation that is renewable, total renewable generation, percent of total domestic renewable generation, and carbon intensity in 2024. The largest renewable electricity source was wind, which has exceeded hydro since 2019.
Much of the utility-scale solar generation capacity additions will come online in Texas. We expect that solar electricity generation supplied to the grid managed by the Electric Reliability Council
