U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after

October 4, 2025 by Leo

Solar and wind represent about 11% to 12% of the energy mix each, while coal sits just under 15%. Developers brought online 16 GW of solar out of a total 21.5 GW electric generation capacity cumulatively added through July in 2025, said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. There is currently about 5 GW more wind than solar actively deployed in the United States.
