In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. 6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest. . A US solar industry group has outlined a nine-point policy agenda calling on New York City's incoming mayor to accelerate rooftop solar and battery deployment to address grid reliability risks, energy costs and climate targets. The New York Solar Energy Industries Association has recommended nine. .
