?? These are official US figures based on projects already approved.

In 2025, new solar (52%) and battery (29%) will dominate, giving a combined 81% of the total added capacity.? Wind (12%) and gas (7%) will make up most of the rest.

In absolute terms, new (added) solar power generation capacity will increase from 30 GW added in 2024 to 32.5 GW added in 2025.

New battery power capacity will dramatically increase from 10.3 GW added in 2024 to 18.2 GW added in 2025.? Battery energy capacities are not given.

New wind capacity will increase from a low 5.1 GW added in 2024 to 7.7 GW added in 2025.

New natural gas capacity is planned to be 4.4 GW added in 2025.? 50% as open cycle gas turbines, 36% to be the more efficient (but also more expensive) combined cycle gas turbines, and the rest replacing coal in steam Rankine cycles.
