“Solar in the Southeast” Ninth Edition Report Webinar
The report illuminates data, trends, and industry leaders and laggards throughout the region, including Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. If you missed the webinar, we discussed highlights from the report, including:
|
- Solar growth continued in the Southeast, reaching a cumulative 30 gigawatts (GW) in 2025 as the region is projected to almost double its amount of solar by 2030.
- Florida remains the state with the most installed solar capacity in the region, with over 15 GW installed in 2025.
- Solar continues to be cost-competitive as costs associated with fossil fuel infrastructure trend upward and are passed directly on to customers.
- With utilities across the region forecasting significant demand increases, each utility resource plan is an opportunity to add more solar and battery storage to the grid.
