Then, beginning around 2009, first wind turbines and then solar photovoltaic panels decreased enough in cost to become competitive in electricity markets. Even faster growth is expected ahead, especially given the Biden administration’s plans to tap high-value offshore wind resources. is headed in that direction.

Department of Energy that found that solar power could generate up to 45% of the U.S. electricity supply by 2050, compared to less than 4% today. It concludes that the latter two scenarios would require approximately 1,050-1,570 gigawatts of solar power, which would meet about 44%-45% of expected electricity demand in 2050.

Smart Wires is one of a handful of companies developing digital power flow control systems that could revolutionize how power grids function, compared to the mostly electromechanical system in place today. EirGrid’s transmission networks are struggling to integrate that power efficiently, O’Sullivan said.

” Wind tax credit impacts. Wind power will also benefit from the tax extensions provided for in the bill. State governments and utility ratepayers will be able to take advantage of lower delivered energy costs as a result of the extension," Dan Shreve, WoodMac's head of global wind research, said in an email.
