US developers have installed 11,015 MW of utility-scale clean power capacity in a record second quarter, according to a report by the American Clean Power Association (ACP), released on Thursday.

This represents a 91% increase from the 5,772 MW added in the second quarter of 2023 and set the stage for record annual installations for a second year in a row, the association said.

Solar deployment was 6,711 MW, onshore wind installations grew 41% year-over-year to 1,370 MW, while storage additions were 2,933 MW/10,431 MWh, bringing the US’ grid-facing energy storage in operation to 21,580 MW/60,387 MWh.

At the end of the second quarter, the US had 283,578 MW of clean power capacity in operation.

According to ACP, onshore wind is recovering with more than 14 GW under construction, 5.5 GW above the year-ago level.
