READ MOREThe utility-scale PV market is maturing. Last year, 22.5 GW of utility-scale PV was installed in the US, a 77% jump from 2022. Solar PV accounted for over half (53%) of all new electricity-generating capacity additions for the first time ever. That fact bears repeating: the majority of the new power sources on the grid last year were large

READ MORE2 · Utility-scale PV''s LCOE fell to $39/MWh in 2022 ($29/MWh if factoring in the federal investment tax credit, or ITC). PPA prices have largely followed the decline in solar''s LCOE over time, but have recently stagnated and even moved slightly higher. Prices from a sample of recent contracts average around $20-30/MWh (levelized) in the West

Currently, 33 percent (502 MW) of the installed capacity of the national interconnected system is hydro plants. There has been an intensive use of small- and medium-scale hydro energy, with 14 out of 16 existing hydro plants with capacity below 30 MW. Two large plants (El Cajón Dam (Honduras) and Rio Lindo) account, however, for more than 70% of the total capacity.
READ MOREUtility-scale PV continued to lead solar deployment in 2020, with Texas adding the most new capacity. 81% of new projects and 89% of new capacity feature single-axis tracking. The median installed cost of projects that came online in 2020 fell to $1.4/WAC ($1.1/WDC), down 10% from 2019 and 75% from 2010.
