Pandemic-related challenges in supply chains and a U.S. Respondents to our survey currently plan to add 3.7 GW less solar capacity in 2022 than what they had expected at the beginning of the year. As in previous years, many projects plan to come online in December because of tax incentives. Nearly half of that planned capacity is from solar (13.6 GW), followed by wind (6.0 GW). Planned capacity: Developers and project planners report plans to add 29.4 GW of new capacity in the United States in the second half of 2022. The largest renewable projects that came online in the first six months of 2022 include the 999 MW Traverse Wind Project in Oklahoma, the 492 MW Maverick Creek Wind in Texas, and the 440 MW solar and battery storage project at Slate Hybrid in California. More than 40% of the wind capacity added so far in 2022 is located in Texas, 2.2 GW of the 5.2 GW wind total. Operating capacity: Wind generation accounts for the largest share, 34%, of the 15.1 GW of capacity that came online in the United States during the first half of 2022, followed by natural gas, solar, and battery storage. Note: Utility-scale generating units are those with at least 1 megawatt of nameplate capacity Energy Information Administration, Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory, June 2022. Our Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory includes information through the preceding month for example, the inventory published in July includes information through June.ĭata source: U.S. We update this inventory once a month with preliminary data and then finalize that data annually with a survey that provides additional information about the power plants. The inventory includes all utility-scale plants that have retired since 2002.
utility-scale power plants (plants with a nameplate capacity of at least 1 megawatt ) that are currently operating, planning to come online, or retired.
Our Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory compiles information on all U.S. Based on the most recently reported plans, developers could add another 29 GW of capacity in the second half of the year. The US power grid is growing! According to our latest inventory of electric generators, 15 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric generating capacity came online in the United States during the first half of 2022.
