The American Clean Power Association (ACP) reported a significant increase in installed utility-scale solar, wind, and storage capacity, totaling 7.4 GW in the first quarter of 2025. This marks the second-strongest start to a year in U.S. history, bringing the national total to 320.86 GW. Despite potential federal policy changes that could complicate renewable energy development, the announced pipeline of projects grew by 12% compared to the previous year, reaching 184.4 GW, which represents a potential investment of $328 billion.

ACP President Jason Grumet emphasized the importance of the clean energy sector for the economy and energy needs, highlighting the necessity for consistent investment signals amidst political uncertainties. The report detailed that the new capacity included 4.46 GW of solar, 1.6 GW of storage, and 1.33 GW of wind, with Texas leading in clean power installations. However, challenges remain, particularly for projects still in development, as evidenced by a recent report indicating $14.5 billion in canceled clean energy investments in early 2025.
