11.2 GW across 35 projects, 100% of it solar, wind and batteries

  • Solar 0 GW
  • Batteries 5.9 GW
  • Wind 5.3 GW
  • Gas + other 0 GW

1.2M homes’ worth of clean energy from solar and wind projects that already have grid agreements

Prices: EIA, residential, January–August 2026 vs. 2025. Extra cost: the state’s 2024 average household use times the price increase; actual bills vary. Queue: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and GridTracker (CC BY 4.0), end of 2025. Projects are counted where they would be built, their power may serve other states, and most projects in the queue never get built. Homes’ worth is a year’s electricity, not around-the-clock supply.
