Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. 6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest. . Though natural gas remains the dominant fuel source for US power generation (accounting for around 35% of generation in the first quarter of 2025), the overwhelming majority of new capacity additions have been concentrated in renewable energy, including solar, wind, and battery storage.

Vanuatu has taken a groundbreaking step with the launch of its largest solar farm, the Kawene Solar Farm. This ambitious initiative will significantly reduce carbon emissions and bolster energy security across the island nation. . On the remote island of Malekula, a new solar micro-grid is changing the lives of over 2,800 people -- boosting local development while contributing to Vanuatu's sector-specific target of transitioning to close to 100 percent renewable energy in the electricity sector by 2030. Launched in September. . As a Small Island Developing State in the south western Pacific, Vanuatu faces a series of challenges due to its small size, remoteness, and vulnerability to climate change impacts and economic shocks. We partner with leading solar and battery manufacturers and remain vendor-neutral to always recommend the best system for you. Government incentives and programs further enhance the accessibility of solar energy adoption, although. . Access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy is essential for sustainable development—especially in island nations like Vanuatu, where remote communities and high diesel costs present major energy challenges.
