80% of new electricity generating additions are storage and solar. Abby Hopper, go represent our industry at CERA!
This year, #solar and #storage will be major players at #CERAWeek. ? And it’s about time. ? CERAWeek is often called the world’s preeminent energy conference — a “Super Bowl” of the global energy sector. It attracts energy business leaders, policymakers, engineers, and energy enthusiasts and, for most of its history, it’s traditionally focused on oil and gas. ? But that’s changing — solar and energy storage are stepping into the spotlight. ? Why? Because we’re no longer a niche technology, we’re a critical pillar of American energy dominance. ? With AI, data centers, and electrification driving unprecedented energy demand, we need power that is scalable, reliable, affordable, and, most importantly, fast. ? Solar is delivering. ? Solar and storage made up over 80% of new electricity generating additions last year and comprises 75% of capacity in development. We’re a $64 billion industry that is delivering adding critical capacity to our energy mix while at the same time, manufacturing enough modules in the United States to meet nearly all the demand for solar. ? Thanks to strong solar growth, strong private sector investment, and strong policy, America is reclaiming its leadership in energy production and solar is leading the way. ? This year at CERAWeek, expect to hear a lot more about how solar is driving the next era of American Energy Dominance. ? Who else is ready for a bigger solar presence at CERAWeek? Let’s connect!
