The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) projects that solar's share of US utility-scale generating capacity will nearly double by April 2024, exceeding coal and wind. This is based on conservative estimates of future solar installations, with actual growth rates surpassing these predictions.
- Projected Growth: FERC's conservative projection has been exceeded by the actual installations of 4.48 MW in three years.
- Future Projection: By April 2024, solar is expected to account for 14.16% of US utility-scale installed capacity.
- Compared to Other Renewables: Solar may soon surpass other renewable sources in total generation capacity.
