(Reuters) - Utility-scale solar projects in the United States added a record 15 gigawatts (GW) of capacity in 2023, up 60% from the year prior and marking an all-time high, according to data from environmental research group Kayrros.
The acceleration was in part due to a rebound effect from the previous year when supply-chain bottlenecks, labor force constraints and import tariffs slowed development. Solar development outside of Texas, the largest solar market, also contributed to the rise, Kayrros said.
