Cleanview January 2025 report

The foundation of our analysis comes from the EIA 860M form, which requires developers to report all newly constructed power projects that are 1 MW or larger, as well as projects

Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity

In 2025, we expect 7.7 GW of wind capacity to be added to the U.S. grid. Last year, only 5.1 GW was added, the smallest wind capacity addition since 2014. Texas, Wyoming, and

U.S. Grid Energy Storage Factsheet

Energy storage boosts electric grid reliability and lowers costs, 47 as storage technologies become more efficient and economically viable. One study found that the economic value of

The future of wind energy: Efficient energy storage for wind turbines

Advancements in lithium-ion battery technology and the development of advanced storage systems have opened new possibilities for integrating wind power with storage

STORAGE FOR POWER SYSTEMS

Because power systems are balanced at the system level, no dedicated backup with energy storage is needed for any single technology. Storage is most economical when operated to

Wind power

OverviewWind power capacity and productionWind energy resourcesWind farmsEconomicsSmall-scale wind powerImpact on environment and landscapePolitics

In 2024, wind supplied over 2,494 TWh of electricity, which was 8.1% of world electricity. To help meet the Paris Agreement''s goals to limit climate change, analysts say it should expand much faster than it currently is – by over 1% of electricity generation per year. Expansion of wind power is being hindered by fossil fuel subsidies

Wind power

[5] Wind power is a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment than burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or

Solar, batteries, wind to make up 93% of 2025 US electricity

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects 32.5 GW of solar, 18.2 GW of energy storage, and 7.7 GW of wind will be deployed this year. These additions will

Wind and solar need storage diversity, not just capacity

In contrast, long-duration deficits, such as multi-day or seasonal shortfalls caused by persistent low-wind or cloudy conditions, require large-scale energy-shifting storage
