Solar power includes solar farms as well as local distributed generation, mostly on rooftops and increasingly from community solar arrays. In 2024, utility-scale solar power generated 219. 8 terawatt-hours (TWh) in the United States. In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we expect U. 6% in 2027, when it reaches an annual total of 4,423 BkWh. Solar power generation has increased drastically over the past two decades, especially since 2011, when it hovered just below two terawatt. . Utility-scale solar posts record growth in 2024; projected to supply most of the nation's increase in electricity generation in 2025 and 2026 The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that, in 2024, the United States added a record 30 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale solar to the grid. . The American Public Power Association is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power approximately 2,000 towns and cities nationwide. We represent public power before the federal government to protect the interests of the more than 55 million people that public power utilities. . Solar has become the largest renewable source of installed power capacity in the United States, surpassing wind after 27 consecutive months as the leading source of new grid additions, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). From pv magazine USA November 2025 marked the 27th. .
