By the 1970s and 1980s, nuclear power plants became integral to the country’s electricity supply, providing a stable and substantial portion of the nation’s energy.

A U.S. solar industry group on Wednesday unveiled an aggressive goal to deploy vast amounts of energy storage capacity by 2030 to help renewables serve power-hungry customers.

Renewable capacity additions will continue to drive the growth of US power generation over the next two years, according to the EIA.

The boost in wind and solar production has also been larger than the increase in generation from natural gas, which remains the single largest source of power on the grid, generating nearly 44 percent of the electricity used in the US.

After seeming out of step with Biden, Knoxville's big utility could find stronger footing in Trump's fossil-fueled energy agenda.

Solar generation for the first 11 months of 2024 increased by over 26%, according to the US EIA's latest monthly report.

The solar industry's journey to becoming the largest source of new U.S. generating capacity for most of 2024 was helped along by pioneering contractors,
