The U.S. installed a record 6.62 GW of utility-scale onshore wind, solar, and storage capacity in the first quarter of 2022, an 11.5% increase from one year ago, said the American Clean Power Association in a new report, but it is concerned that signs of a slowdown are growing.
Battery storage was the biggest growth catalyst, with 758 MW of new capacity—up 173% from the same quarter in 2021, with 24 projects completed, according to the report.
