• U.S. clean power delivers 90% of all new capacity added to the grid in 2025 as developers plug in a record 50,344 MW.听

• Energy storage installations jumped 41% year over year, exceeding 2024 levels by听nearly 4听GW and marking another record-breaking year for batteries.听
• Amid rising regulatory challenges,听power purchase agreements (PPA)听activity fell听27% while pipeline growth slowed听to 1%.听

WASHINGTON, D.C. March 5, 2026 – The 新麻豆视频 Association (ACP) today released its听Q4听2025听Clean Power Quarterly Market Report, showing the U.S. clean energy industry delivered听its听strongest year听on record.听

Developers brought 18.6 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage听online听in Q4 alone 鈥� pushing the 2025 annual total to more than 50 GW.听That鈥檚听enough electricity to power more than听6.9听million homes.听听

These three technologies accounted for 90.5% of all new power capacity in 2025听and over 80% of capacity additions over the previous five years,听according to ACP and the听U.S. Energy Information Administration.听Battery storage听led听the charge, exceeding 2024 deployment by听nearly 4听GW 鈥� a 41% year-over-year听increase.听

鈥淭his record year shows听that our industry is resilient and听delivers听the听reliable, affordable energy that Americans听need,鈥�听said听ACP听Chief Policy Officer, JC Sandberg.听鈥淭hese听numbers听aren’t听surprising given the consistent market and policy environment the industry enjoyed heading into 2025.鈥�听

While clean power听remains听one of the听most affordable听ways听to build the power generation America needs, the medium-term outlook听remains听uncertain. The near-term pipeline听rose to听over听187.5听GW听鈥�听but听growth is slowing with only听two听GW added during the fourth quarter.听

Decline in Power Purchase Agreements Raises Concern听

Although听installations hit record highs in Q4听of听2025, power purchase agreements (PPAs) 鈥� a key indicator of future growth 鈥� declined 27% year over year, which signals lower clean power deployment in 2028-2030.听Despite rapidly growing electricity demand, many buyers delayed decisions in the second half of the听year,听awaiting听clarity on federal policy and tax credit eligibility rules.听

鈥淐urrent policy instability is beginning to impact investor confidence and negatively affect project timelines at a time when demand is surging,鈥� continued Sandberg. 鈥淲ith energy costs continuing to rise, limiting affordable clean energy generation deprives American families and businesses of needed relief. 听But听it鈥檚听not too late.听Stable policy听that supports multi-tech听energy development听can听help us听maintain听the听incredible听momentum听that has brought us to this record year.鈥澨�听听

Q4 2025听Market Report Findings听

• Strongest听Clean Power听Year on Record:听Total clean power capacity installed in 2025 reached 50,344 MW 鈥� a 3% increase over 2024 and the听first-time听annual deployment has surpassed 50 GW.听
• Storage Surges:听Energy storage installations were 41% higher than 2024 鈥斕齮he听previous听record year. The storage development pipeline continues to expand, growing 2% year-over-year, signaling sustained long-term demand.听
• Medium-term听Pipeline听Outlook听Increasingly听Uncertain:听The near-term pipeline听rose to听187,514 MW. However, growth is slowing with only听two听GW added during the fourth quarter.听A听27% year-over-year drop in PPA announcements is an early warning sign for lower clean power deployments in 2028-2030.听听
• Offshore Wind Under Pressure:听No new offshore wind capacity came online in Q4, and the pipeline contracted following project cancellations. Continued federal and regulatory interference is creating additional headwinds for the sector.
• Value听Proposition听for States:听Clean power is delivering low-cost power, jobs, and a boost to local economies across the U.S. 鈥斕齱ith projects operational in all 50 states.听Nineteen听states grew their clean power capacity by more than 20% in 2025, with Kentucky increasing its capacity by 188% to reach the Top 10 for 2025 solar installations.听Increased听adoption is set to continue: 35 states have more than 1 GW of clean power in the pipeline.听听听
