US to add 29.1 GW of large-scale solar in 2023

  • February 20, 2023

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), by 2023, the U.S. solar market will add 29.1 GW of utility-scale photovoltaics and 9.4 GW of energy storage projects. Most of the year.


EIA researchers predict that U.S. project developers will deploy up to 29.1 GW of solar and up to 9.4 GW of energy storage, driven by the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and statewide proposals for renewable energy, This accounts for 70% of the 54.5 GW of new generation capacity added to the US grid this year.

The solar market is expected to rebound this year after utility-scale solar projects were delayed in 2022 due to trade concerns arising from the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), according to EIA’s latest monthly update to its annual Generator Report (EIA-860M), The new installed capacity reached 29.1 GW. If all the new capacity comes online as planned, 2023 will be the year with the most new utility-scale PV capacity additions — more than double the current record of 13.4 GW deployed in 2021, the EIA said.

U.S. utility-scale solar capacity has been increasing rapidly since 2010. Despite the upward trend maintained over the past decade, the addition of utility-scale solar capacity in 2022 is down 23% compared to 2021. The decline in solar capacity additions was attributed to UFLPA trade issues, broader supply chain disruptions, and other challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023, EIA forecasts that the largest clusters of new solar developments will come from Texas (7.7 GW) and California (4.2 GW), which together account for 41% of new planned capacity.
