US Installs 11.7 GW Of Clean Power In Record Q3

The title of this post, is the same as an article on Renewables Now.

Searching for the title of this post on Google AI gives this informative answer.

The United States installed a record 11.7 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale clean power capacity in the third quarter of 2025, marking a 14% increase over the same period in 2024. The data comes from the American Clean Power Association’s (ACP) latest “Clean Power Quarterly Market Report”. 
Key highlights from the report:
  • Total Capacity: The 11.7 GW of new capacity includes utility-scale solar, energy storage, and onshore wind projects.
  • Storage Surge: Battery storage set a new Q3 record with 4.7 GW installed, ensuring 2025 is on pace to be the biggest year for clean power deployment yet.
  • Solar & Wind: Solar accounted for a large portion of new installations, and land-based wind increased 131% over Q3 2024.
  • Strong Year Overall: Year-to-date installations reached 30.9 GW, already surpassing the pace of the previous record-setting year of 2024. 
Despite the strong performance, the report also warns of future risks due to policy and regulatory uncertainty. Leading indicators, such as power purchase agreements (PPAs), fell significantly year-over-year, which points to potential slowdowns ahead. The full report with underlying datasets is available to ACP members, while a public version can be accessed via the press release on their website.
It looks to me that members of the American Clean Power Association have more sense than their Prtesident.

  1. Isn’t this rather in opposition to Trump’s idyll of burning oil and coal and pouring tons of CO2 into the atmosphere?

    • The Renewables Now article says this.

      The report, released on Thursday, shows that developers added about 4.7 GW of storage, 6 GW of solar and 1 GW of wind during the quarter.

      So it looks like they’ve left Trump to generate the wind.
