Direct from ACP COO and @CPIWorkforce President Kelly Veney Darnell's fireside chat at the @GreenJobsBoard Pavilion at #NewYorkClimateWeek today. Building the educational and certificate systems needed to train the workforce in areas poised for clean energy booms, like Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia, is a critical step in supporting both local workforces and clean energy projects.

🚨 NEW QUARTERLY REPORT: The business case for clean power is clear, and momentum is accelerating. The U.S. clean power industry added a record 17.1 GW of new utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage capacity in Q2 2026 — a 45% increase year over year. That brings total clean power capacity to nearly 388 GW, enough to power more than 83 million American homes. 📊 Explore the full Q2 2026 Clean Power Quarterly Market Report for the latest data and analysis: cleanpower.org/resources/202…

Summer might be coming to a close, but utility-scale solar projects still have a lot of production potential! ☀️ According to ACP’s new in-house report on utility-scale solar, as of Q1 2026, solar became the country’s largest renewable energy source by capacity. Over the last decade, operational utility-scale solar has grown on average by 28% year-over-year; currently, it exceeds 161 GW of operational capacity, which is enough to power the equivalent of 34 million homes. 🏡 Read the full member-only report on our website today: cleanpower.org/resources/mar…

Clean energy projects bring electrons to the grid faster than any other technology. In a time of rising demand, clean energy is ready to deliver the power the American economy needs to thrive.⚡ Solar, wind, and battery storage can be built and deployed between six months and two years. Comparable gas and nuclear projects take much longer on average to construct and deploy. Not only are clean energy projects able to reach the grid faster, but they also meet growing demand without relying on costlier thermal units, keeping costs low for Americans across the country. ⬇️ Check out the new fact sheet from ACP: cleanpower.org/resources/fac…

Is your state one of the 14 that generates at least 10% of its electricity from solar power?⚡ While California holds the top spot for the largest portion of electricity generated from both behind-the-meter and utility-scale solar at 38.8%, runner-up Nevada (33.9%) has a larger share of its electricity from in-state utility-scale solar than any other state (28.9%). The grid is complicated.

Through its partnership with @NextpowerInc, JM Steel has invested $100 million in operations in Leetsdale, Pennsylvania and $40 million in Sinton, Texas. At both locations, workers form steel coils into torque tubes, inspect finished components, and prepare shipments for solar projects nationwide. This is what domestic clean energy manufacturing looks like on the ground: skilled workers turning American steel into precision components for energy infrastructure nationwide. cleanpower.org/manufacturing…

How many states have one or more operational utility-scale solar projects? If you guessed all 50 (plus DC and Puerto Rico!), then you’d be correct! ACP’s research team’s recent Summer 2026 Market Pulse covering explores how solar energy is powering American communities across the U.S. ☀️ Solar power also gives back to communities: Over the past year, solar projects have contributed $1.8B+ in state and local taxes and land-lease payments. 🌱 Interested in learning more about the ways that solar benefits communities across America?

Solar power’s future is brighter than the sun, according to a new Market Pulse report prepared by ACP’s research team. 🔆 Utility-scale solar currently generates enough energy to power nearly 34 million homes annually, serving as a reliable, low-cost way for the grid to meet soaring demand across the country. By 2030, it’s expected to comprise 12% of domestic electricity generation. 📈 Market Pulse reports are a new resource that bring together the best of ACP data about one technology.
