Although developers have added natural gas-fired capacity each year since then, other technologies such as wind, solar, and battery storage have become more prevalent options for new capacity. If those plans. . Renewables, including solar, wind, hydropower, biofuels and others, are at the centre of the transition to less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy systems. Solar surpassed 2023's record installations in 2024, adding an estimated 39. 6 gigawatts (GW) of capacity, compared to 27. EIA's latest monthly “Electric Power Monthly” report (with data through November 30, 2025), once again. . As America moves closer to a clean energy future, energy from intermittent sources like wind and solar must be stored for use when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining. The Energy Department is working to develop new storage technologies to tackle this challenge -- from supporting. . MITEI's three-year Future of Energy Storage study explored the role that energy storage can play in fighting climate change and in the global adoption of clean energy grids.
