Despite the ongoing attacks from the Trump administration, America’s clean energy industry is experiencing significant growth in 2019, according to government analysts at the Energy Information Administration (EIA). This expansion is expected to reach an all-time high by 2025, with solar and battery plants accounting for 81% of new power generation that will be added to America’s electric grids. Including wind projects, renewables and batteries are anticipated to contribute a staggering 93% of the total new power capacity expected this year. This growth is particularly important as electricity demand in the United States surges for the first time in decades, necessitating an increase in energy production from various sources including nuclear power, geothermal projects, natural gas and even delaying the retirement of some old coal plants. However, despite these challenges, renewable-energy and battery plants are considered crucial due to their relatively quick build times and comparatively low costs for electricity generation. This growth is a testament to the resilience of America’s clean energy industry in the face of adversity from the Trump administration, highlighting its potential for continued expansion even as political winds shift.
