#US #EIA: #Solar + storage soar as #fossilfuels stall through September #2025
In September alone, #electricity generation by #utilityscalesolar (>1 megawatt (MW)) ballooned by well over 36.1% compared to September 2024, while “estimated” small-scale (e.g., rooftop) solar PV increased by 12.7%. Combined, they grew by 29.9% and provided 9.7% of US electrical output during the month, up from 7.6% a year ago.

#US‘s #wind and #solar will generate more power than #coal in #2024
#UtilityScaleSolar generation is up by over 30%
In first 11mo of 2024, US saw #electricity use grow by 2.8%, or roughly 100TwH. Rapid growth of #renewables has displaced #fossilfuel generation—specifically #coal—rather than increased demand.
Wind and solar has also been larger than increase in generation from #naturalgas, which remains the single largest source of power on the grid, generating nearly 44%

Here's how #utilityscalesolar farms may just help save the #bees
A five-year study of #solarfarms planted with #wildflowers and native grasses discovered that native bees showed a 20-fold increase in numbers.
