utilities and independent power producers will add 26 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity to the U. In 2017, the solar industry achieved SunShot's original 2020 cost target of $0. Cost targets for residential- and commercial-scale solar. Note: Capacity values represent the amount of generating capacity at utility-scale power plants (greater than 1 megawatt). Other renewables include geothermal, waste biomass, wood biomass, and pumped storage hydropower. In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we expect that U. 7 gigawatts direct current (GWdc) of capacity in Q3 2025, a 20% increase from Q3 2024, a 49% increase from Q2 2025, and the third largest quarter for deployment in the industry's history. China continued to dominate the global market, representing ~60% of 2024 installs, up 52% y/y.
