us solar capacity

US power distribution company Entergy Louisiana has sought approval to add 3GW of solar PV power to its generation mix in Louisiana.

The US’ fleet of solar and wind generation capacity is set to almost triple over the next decade, but even this is not enough to meet President Biden’s ambitious decarbonisation targets, according to a recent BloombergNEF report.

Renewables could make up 30% of the US’ energy capacity mix within the next four years, according to new analysis by the non-profit Sun Day Campaign.
