EIA: 99%+ of new #US capacity in 2026 will be #solar, #wind + storage
The mix of all #renewables (wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal) produced 8.7% more #electricity in January-November than a year earlier and accounted for 25.7% of total US electricity production, up from 24.3% 12 months earlier.
In #2026, renewables and battery storage will account for 99.2% of net new capacity – and even higher if small-scale solar were included.
