If small-scale solar is included, newly released US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign indicates that renewables are on track to surpass natural gas in total electrical generating capacity by early 2027. more…
The increased deployment of small-scale solar, combined with broader renewable energy adoption, is reaching a critical mass that is now reflected in national energy data projections.
This shift indicates a significant and accelerating transition in the primary energy generation mix, with direct implications for energy policy, infrastructure investment, and geopolitical energy dynamics.
Renewable energy sources are projected to become the dominant installed electrical generating capacity in the US by early 2027, surpassing natural gas.
