US Solar & Wind Power to Exceed 700 GW in 2030 — Forecast - CleanTechnica

The London-based consultancy GlobalData forecasts robust growth in the U.S. solar and wind power markets through 2035, despite political opposition from the president and Republicans in Congress. Their analysis projects that the U.S. renewable energy market's new installation capacity will grow from 414.5 GW in 2024 to 1.06 TW by 2035, with solar and onshore wind making up nearly all of this expansion. Specifically, solar power capacity is expected to rise from 96.3 GW in 2020 to 492.3 GW in 2030 and 737.8 GW in 2035, while onshore wind capacity will grow from 122.3 GW in 2020 to 212.8 GW in 2030 and 269 GW in 2035. Annual solar capacity additions are projected to remain strong, averaging around 40-48 GW per year through 2030. The growth of solar and wind is driven primarily by their cost competitiveness
