Solar, Wind, Storage Link Arms in Push for 'Majority Renewables'by 2030
With the 2020 election drawing closer, the solar and wind sectors announced a joint push to quadruple their combined share of the U.S. power mix by 2030.
The industry groups said the efforts would build to over 1 million jobs by 2030, with the majority working in solar.
AWEA, along with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the Energy Storage Association and the National Hydropower Association, said the groups would work together on several “advocacy principles” including achieving carbon reductions, building a more resilient grid and advancing fair market competition.
The solar industry estimates it would need to see average annual growth of 18 percent through the next decade and installations averaging 39 gigawatts per year. In 2019, the market grew 23 percent and installed 13.3 gigawatts, according to Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables. The U.S. solar industry's largest year on record saw it installing 14.6 gigawatts back in 2016.
