Dive Brief:
Wind and solar will represent more than two-thirds of new electric generating capacity to come online in 2021, while battery storage capacity is set to quadruple over the next year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Two-thirds of new solar projects are now built in tandem with energy storage, according to Sam Newell, a principal analyst for The Brattle Group.
At current pace, wind, solar and storage could overtake conventional technologies as the leading source of generation by the early 2030s, according to Wood Mackenzie principal analyst Robert Whaley.
Dive Insight:
Renewable energy is still a ways from becoming the dominant source of energy on the U.S. electric grid, but wind and solar will remain the resources of choice for new development in 2021.
