Renewables generated a quarter of US Electricity in the first half of 2022, according to the United States Energy Information Administration.

 With 17.6 gigawatts of utility-grade solar coming online in the past year, a truly renewable grid is quickly becoming the reality. 

Take a look at the EIA’s current snapshot of renewable power generation. It’s an exciting time, but there’s much more work to be done to transition to a renewable future.

The SEIA released a roadmap to 50 GW of manufacturing backed by an American supply chain and American jobs. As we move into the future of the green grid, resiliency can only been achieved by expanding domestic industry and domestic jobs.

Sustainability and reliability go hand in hand. A $26 Million Department of Energy program intends to fund up to 10 projects that show how large-scale solar, wind, and energy storage can support the power grid by automatically adjusting to changing demand and disruption.

These large scale demonstrations of a 100% clean grid provide a look into the future of the green energy landscape. 

As non-renewable power plants wind down operations, private and public investment in renewable energy is expanding, fueling the 9.4 GW of new renewable energy added to the grid this year. 

A NASDAQ analysis of the current expansion in generating capacity and public and private investment in renewables demonstrates that the country is on a strong path to replacing non-renewable and polluting electrical generation like coal power plants with wind, hydro, and solar.

With small business employing 90% of all U.S. clean energy jobs, our local partners in coal to solar redevelopment and renewal are reducing carbon emissions and empowering communities for the clean energy transition.
