“At the same time, coal generation is projected to fall sharply…” 😍😍

“”The US power sector is entering a defining shift. New projections for 2027 show a clear acceleration of clean energy growth, with solar and wind leading the transformation of the electricity mix.
Solar power is set to deliver the single largest increase in generation, adding well over 140 terawatt hours compared with 2025 levels. This surge reflects rapid cost declines, massive utility scale buildouts, and strong residential and commercial adoption across the country.
Wind power also continues its strong expansion, contributing roughly 50 terawatt hours of additional generation. Together, wind and solar are doing the heavy lifting of future power growth, reinforcing their role as the backbone of new electricity supply.
At the same time, coal generation is projected to fall sharply, with a decline of around 60 terawatt hours. This ongoing retreat highlights coal’s accelerating loss of competitiveness in the face of cheaper renewables and tightening environmental and economic pressures.
Natural gas and nuclear show only modest increases, signaling a more limited role in growth compared to renewables. Hydropower adds a small but steady contribution, while other sources remain largely flat.⚡🌍
